This is the other passage I've been struggling with--I've read it several times, and it's still not clear how many different parties are involved, and what their relationships might be.
It's meant to assure compatiblity with the Apache license. Don't worry
if you don't understand it. Neither did the FSF at first; that's why
they took so long to add it. If I understand the rationale, it
basically means that if:
1. Alan writes a program.
2. Bob redistributes it to Charlie.
3. Bob offers Charlie a warranty and says Bob will assume liability with
for any problems Charlie has with the program.
Then:
4. Bob must ensure that if this somehow gets Alan sued, Bob protects Alan.
The prepositional phrases do get confusing. The main line of it is:
"requiring indemnification of licensors ... by anyone who conveys ...
for any liability...".
