No.

It said that if you mentioned features or use of the software
in your marketing materials, you must give the authors credit.

If you do not mention features or use of the software, you
need only give credit in the accompanying documentation, in
the back, in appendix C, in a 4 point font.

The "advertising clause" is _not_ and "advertising clause", so
much as it is a "claim credit clause", which prevents you from
misrepresenting works of authorship as your own.
