The fluff. There's too much fluff. Let's simplify it:
"If you make software from this software, your software and source code must
be distributed freely just like this software is. No exceptions and no
restrictions."
Do you see how easy that is?
I would get into a long and drawn out discussion but I am the last person on
earth to engage in a discussion regarding IP theft/protection. My opinion is
simple: if you don't warranty and support the software you create, including
the output it produces, you should have no right to IP protections nor should
you be allowed to charge for use of your product. Period. No exceptions.
