I think he's referring to:
"All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further
restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
restriction, you may remove that term."

This would seem to override any other terms included in the COPYING
file, namely, this one:

"This license can be used for any works that this license defines
as "derived" or "combined" works that are strictly NON-COMMERCIAL.
This license prohibits the use of any source or object code
in works that are PROPRIETARY."

IANAL, but it makes sense that if you say something in the beginning of
a document, and then say "if I said that thing earlier you can ignore
it", the later text stands.
