A further quibble:  Such new terms can apply only to code additions.
Third-party coders cannot "add new terms" to the original codebase, as
they lack title.

(Your derivative work based on my original BSD-licensed one might not
furnish a clean copy of my upstream source code, but issues of source
access are distinct from those of terms.)
