I know nothing of what the "GNU folks" requested. The license was posted
to debian-legal and we commented on it. I had never seen the license
before. I doubt Henning had either.

Nothing, in my case. I can't speak for your "GNU folks". Get rid of that
clause and your software could go into Debian, should anyone choose to
package it.
I would like to see a a legal opinion on that clause. It is possible that
it has no effect at all. If so, the license is already DFSG compliant.
