+1 to add as it's pretty unique - I don't think I've seen a license that explicitly grants a right to "translate"

we do have issue of naming and id though

+1 to add. seeing several instances in the wild, e.g. finding it in the following:

• https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/fireware/12/en-US/v12_4_Copyright-Licensing_Guide.pdf
• https://software-dl.ti.com/omap/jacinto6/JACINTO6-EVM/6AK_1_2_Release/artifacts/Android_6AK_1_2_NOTICE.html
• https://downloads.hpe.com/pub/softlib2/software1/doc/p115857987/v60716/hpoaeula.pdf

All of these have the Sun copyright notice. Perhaps Sun-PPP as ID and "Sun PPP License" as name?
