There's a newer version of the listings package on CTAN (Copyright
2002), that has a slightly different, but still possibly
problematic, request.
My reading of the text is that it's just a request, and not at all
binding, but it might be good to get a legal (or debian-legal)
opinion.
Getting the author to change the terms would be better, however.
Probably the best way to make that happen would be for people who
actually use the package to write to the author, [1] explain the
problems, and ask him to change the license.
