My recommendation is to contact an attorney at law with a specialization in copyright law and to request that the attorney explain the license to you in "common terms." It may well be worth your while to have the attorney provide you with his interpretation of the license in writing. Any legal situation arising out of the license would undoubtedly be adjudicated in a court of law. Asking the general public, and programmers are a member of the general public with respect to legal matters, may at best illicit fairy tales. You need someone who understands the legal implications of what you are asking. You wouldn't ask a dishwasher to produce 300 lines of machine code for an IBM 360, would you? Kocmotex, who is NOT legally qualifed.
