It can't go to main because it doesn't seem to be DFSG free. The DFSG say:

     Derived Works
          The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must
          allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license
          of the original software.

I can't see where the licence you quoted allows modifications and derived
works.
