The word "should" seems to imply this might be optional, since the verbatim BSD sections use "must" for the mandatory parts. The GPL has similar requirements for notices of modification.

Looking at the DFSG, I can't think of any conflicts between the items in it and this custom license clause. https://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines All that said, this is license proliferation, which isn't really good, so you might want to consider asking upstream to drop the clause. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License_proliferation -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
