The license itself also explicitly states this as a requirement.

the part that you omitted ends "under the terms of Section 1 above".
It also explicitly grants the right to copy in the text you omitted (which
might have something to do with why it's called a copyright license)
Interestingly enough, creation of a derived work typically also involves
making of copies.
