That's right.
The oother question is: Is it DFSG-free if this part of the license would
be changed to something like "send us the modifications by email; if our
company is without reach you are allowed to do without this" (the wording
needs to be improved)? Especially: Is the

Anonymizer Inc. a perpetual, royalty-free license to use and
distribute the modifications or work in its products.
DFSG-free?
