In disagreements it often helps to first agree on what the parties
disagree on. That way you can put aside the parts you agree on. Maybe
this can also help here.

In the text below The Notice refers to the citation notice in GNU
Parallel version 20210722.

Do you believe the original source code of version 20210722 is GPLv3
compliant in your interpretation of the GPLv3? If no: What license (if
any) would give you the right to change the software?

Do you believe The Notice conflicts with the 4 freedoms of Free
Software? If so: please explain how.

Do you believe The Notice conflicts with the DFSG? If so: please explain how.

Do you believe The Notice breaks scripts - unattended or not? If so:
Provide a minimal working example that shows a script actually
breaking (don't assume it will break, instead show it actually
breaks).

Do you believe you can change the source code as much as you want and
still call it GNU Parallel? Do you believe you can make significant
changes and still call it GNU Parallel?

Are you aware that in academia it is tradition to cite research you build upon?

Are you aware citations are an important factor for some researchers
to have their contract extended?

Are you aware that GNU Parallel earlier tried only to have the
citation notice in the documentation, but researchers simply did not
read this, and thus forgot to cite - not because they did not want to
cite, but because they simply were not aware?

Are you aware there are plenty of alternatives, if you dislike GNU
Parallel (man parallel_alternatives)?
