I admit it is not intentional and was rather a regression.  When trying
to update the patch I stumbled upon a change in the code:

         # Before changing this line, please read
         # https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/parallel_design.html#Citation-notice
         # https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parallel.git/tree/doc/citation-notice-faq.txt

I updated the patch in Git[1] but did not yet activate it yet.  I'm fine
with uploading parallel with the patch activated if you really think we
should disrespect the wish of the author and insist on plain GPL text.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
