I didn't "skip over it"; I'm taking the following "this means" as an
explanation of the intent of that sentence. If the license says "foo
means bar", I will interpret foo as meaning bar, and try not to bring
my own wishful meanings to it.

I disagree; I think the license has told us what it means by that
first part, and its stated meaning does *not* include the rights of
redistribution and deriving modified works.
