License compatibility of BSD-new to X11

Hey all,
at the moment I mail web application developers to license their code
freely. Now I have a (probably easy) question regarding license
compatibility:
A developer wants to release his application as MIT/X11. It uses the Dojo
toolkit which is licensed as modified BSD (or Academic Free License 2.1).
Is this possible? The third clause of the modified BSD seems to prevent that:
»Neither the name of the <organization> nor the names of its contributors
may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software
without specific prior written permission.«
Thanks in advance. :)
