I saw those but perhaps i don't understand... or in our two countries
that means something different.

To me "written consent" in 1.d means permission i.e. email or in the
extreme actually written - they just want to know what organisations
are using the software [fair enough and it is free].

In 2c they don't want people modifying their code and then calling it
their own under a new name (hence the explanation below) [fair
enough].

No? That is my understanding.
They would clarify it by email.
