I don't think that is part of the license. After the license there is
first a request to send in comments and bugs to a specific address,
then a request to register yourself as user, then this
request:

If you use Singular or parts thereof in a project and/or publish
results that were partly obtained using SINGULAR, we ask you to cite
SINGULAR and inform us thereof - see
`http://www.singular.uni-kl.de/how_to_cite.html', for information on
how to cite Singular.

I'm no native english speaker, and I think those who have written this
are neither. But this looks much like it is a request and no condition
on use (or copying/modifying).

There are licencse problems with the omalloc library included, but it
looks like its author already relicenced it, so it will most likely
be fixed in the next version.

Hochachtungsvoll,
