I've now changed it to:

"To the extent permission to make copies of a Covered Work is
necessary for running it, such permission is not terminable."

That may still need some improvement, but it's probably a little clearer.

I've changed section 15 to:

"The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this License
does not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of
this License. Such provision is to be reformed to the minimum extent
necessary to make it valid and enforceable."
