I would imagine that this is some form of protection to the likes of 3D
Max and SoftImage. 

As for the rest, it looks like they are protecting a lot of vested
interest groups (akin to "bought" members of the US Senate who are
trying to murder P2P due to RIAA) by wrapping what they are talking
about in legal mumbo-jumbo which is designed to put people off either
interpretting it or trying to get around what they are on about.

Of course, I could be wrong.
