It keeps the package out of main. It theoretically could go in non-free,
but personally I find the clause so repugnant that I would rather not see
it on any Debian servers at all.

Without clause 4 it is just a verbose version of the modified BSD license
and is therefor DFSG compliant.
You should get rid of the "CLICKING ON THE SOFTWARE RELEASE BUTTON" stuff,
though. It makes no sense in the context of a Debian package.
