I know that in some other cases upstreams have been persuaded to change such licence conditions into non-binding imprecations. In this case that would make the resulting software GPL-compatible, which would be very nice. Perhaps upstream can be persuaded.

I'm in good contact with the main author ("upstream") - the results of
this archived public discussion should be able to help him decide on
any changes based on something more concrete than verbal discussion.
