No, they require you to retain the copyright notice and the license text, and the license states otherwise: https://opensource.stackexchange.com/a/305/8261

If you can clearly delineate your new code under a different compatible license, you should be fine from the legal standpoint.

The fine hair splitting begins at what is the required amount of modifications required to be able to relicense the given chunk of code.
