It reads to me like a contract, not a (bare) license. In the contract, the other party is granted the copyright license to copy, modify etc and in exchange the party agrees to follow those other (non-copyright) requirements (sort of like someone might agree to pay a specific sum, which is not a copyright requirement either). I wouldn't say it is obviously without legal value, and as a conservative estimate I would assume that the whole document is legally binding. Beyond that, I cannot say. > Is it a kind of "algorithm copyright"?
