It's not grandfathering. It shows a baseline of knowledge. The FCC exam serves as a substitute for the SBE exam.

This wording has been in place for some time on the SBE materials, so it may apply to a certain period of licenses issued. If there's nothing there on yours you're probably in the clear.
