It doesn't. I seem to recall it has been discussed here previously;
a quick readthrough reveals:

  - a "you must monitor our web site" clause

  - a "you are responsible for ensuring that people you distribute
    the software to comply with this license" clause

  - a "you must contact us if you distribute patches" clause

  - an unilateral-termination clause

  - a "you must adhere to U.S. law" clause
