Gotta love fun academic wording. I think this is what they mean.
That seems like a plausible interpretation.
Can you reach out to that upstream and confirm this interpretation?
If that is correct, there is no issue with us including the library. This is equivalent
(albeit confusingly worded) to clauses in other FOSS licenses which restrict use of
trademarks in modified works.
I suspect my interpretation is correct, because of their wording around "claims to
use or include", but if they intend for this to be a more general restriction on
modification if their software is incorporated into other applications or software
compilations (e.g. Fedora), that would make it non-free.
I have sent a query upstream. I will report back when I get a reply.
Thank you, Tom!
