The author’s contractual wishes are specified there. It’s fine for an author to have additional, non-contractual wishes. (Legally, it’s equally fine for someone to follow or not follow those additional wishes.)

Unless your non-contractual wishes are directly contradictory to your contractually stated wishes, and you actively harass the maintainers of a project that very politely choose to decline your non-contractual wishes.
To be fair, you should not have used "legally" in the sentence above. So there's the license, there's the author's wish, and there's the other party's wish, and both wishes are equally valid, they don't have to agree at all, what matters is the license.
