I think nikanj means that this is not a stipulation of the BSD license at all, that's why it's not compatible with what Linus made there.


But the Linus license has no bearing on the rest of the code base at all.

The entire concept of “compatibility” is an artifact of copyleft. In the rest of the license universe, each piece of code is covered by its own license and it does not matter what licenses other code uses.

This license does not apply to the rest of BSD. The BSD license does not apply to this code.
