I agree that the OpenPBS license requires modifications to be public
domain.
However, I don't see how this conflicts with DFSG. DFSG says:

3. Derived Works
The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow

original software.

And, public domain works can be distributed under the OpenPBS license.
