    john: is in what seems to be a prologue and not part of the license.
    john: It also doesn't really express a restriction.

OK, I have the same opinion.

    ::   6.  If you base research on SWI-Prolog and publish on this
    :: research, you must include appropriate acknowledgements and
    :: references to SWI-Prolog in your publication.

    john: Is this a restriction on a field of endeavor?

I don't think it's a restriction.  I'd understand it as an easily
satisfiable requirement.  (I suppose it's at least polite to make such
acknowledgements even without explicit author's request.)

    john: What is he getting at here?

Since the author works at university, it is understandable he wants to
be cited in publications.
