I thought you were referring to a misuse of the GPL but maybe I got this wrong. I didn’t read up on this specific case. If it is academic tradition then I would put this under the voluntary section.
As GPL software it can’t require you to cite, but it also is pushy about telling you that if you use it in academic work you should cite it (and makes you type “will cite” to get the notice to go away)
