I agree that the OpenPBS license requires modifications to be public
domain.

However, I don't see how this conflicts with DFSG.  DFSG says:

<quote>
  3. 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.

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