It (the original) is still so identified by the following:

I think it's a stretch to claim the permission only covers unmodifieds.
It would be better clearer, but it doesn't seem a problem.

Given the main licence does not enumerates exactly which parts
it covers, I'd suspect incomplete if anything, but I don't see
why you're so sure it's not under the main licence's terms.
