Erm, I thought I included it already, but...

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.

That's an existing restriction in the GPL, therefore a restriction in
another license for the same thing is acceptable to the GPL for a
resultant work. You'll also note above it says "an appropriate
copyright notice".

Thanks,

Stephen
