Thank you for noticing the problem. I reckon it is safe to ignore as some
time ago we already asked upstream about it and they've assured us of their
intentions to remove additional restrictions:
"It's a errata from the ancient times. We do not (and won't) intend to
include any additional clause to the LGPL v3 to the Ginkgo CADx source
code. We will remove that in next software releases." [1]
I thought all those additional clauses was already removed but apparently
this one was overlooked...
Unfortunately "ginkgocadx" is abandoned upstream and no longer usable (in its
current state). I think it would be best to request its removal from
"unstable"...
