The requirement to "retain all applicable copyright, trademark, and attribution notices" may be ambiguous since the new license does not include any copyright notice. Consider adding a copyright notice (e.g., "Copyright (c) GitHub, Inc.") at the top of the license file to clarify what notices redistributors should retain.
