Per my reading, this only covers the founding committee members use of 
AFS in the "OpenAFS Foundation" name (which apparently at the time of 
signing had not been incorporated yet):

>> IBM hereby grants [..] right and license [..] to use the Marks as part of The OpenAFS Foundation name.
>> [..]
>> Members may not sublicense or assign any of the rights [..] except [..] to the newly incorporated OpenAFS Foundation, once that entity is formed.

In other words, this seems not to be the agreement that allows OpenAFS 
to be called OpenAFS.
