    What do we call this?  

How about "unlimited"?

BTW, rms gave me different wording once for a similar notice, called
"all-permissive" in the License Notices node of maintain.texi:

         Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification,
         are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright
         notice and this notice are preserved.

As Bruno and others have pointed out, the juxtaposition of the clauses
is less than ideal, but rms was uninterested in changing it.  Whatever ...
