If the contract specified that it was work for hire and you would own
the copyright, then you could ignore the notice.

Otherwise, you would need to get permission from the copyright holder
to sell or distribute the code.

The other notice is a typical open-source license. It's the copyright
holder's choice to give it away free with the listed restrictions.
It's not your choice.
