The caddy source code is licensed under the Apache License. As a user, you can modify and/or use the software in pretty much any way you see fit -- as long as you download the source and build it yourself. You can add or remove features (including the controversial header) and use it as you wish, but redistributing modified versions and calling them "caddy" may not be permitted.
Binary packages from your distro should also be fine.
If you download and use the binaries from the caddy web site, you are bound by their EULA.
To be safe, use the version provided by your distro or -- even better -- build it from source yourself.
You may want to read the actual Apache License [0] yourself, skim over the "Licensing conditions" section [1] of the Wikipedia page, or, at the least, review GitHub's bullet points [2].
