Mark Thomas said it best:

"That said, no downstream consumer is going to be able to make any
statements about JSR compatibility without passing the TCK themselves so
they would pick up the notice requirement through their own TCK license."

This one seems to take care of itself without the need for a notice-preservation requirement.

Bottom line: you need your own license to claim compliance.
