I'll bring up the potentially confusing wording with the team next week, but it is
not our intention to place any limits on what you do with source code you have
written.  The issue addressed by the section you quote relates to the
"redistributables" mentioned earlier in the paragraph..

We provide redistributable versions of our component libraries at the Professional
and Enterprise levels.  These are provided in source and bytecode form, but the
source code that we provide cannot be redistrbuted under any circumstances.

I hope that puts you at ease, but please note that this isn't an official legal
interpretation of the agreement, it's just my personal understanding of the
original intent.  I will attempt to get the agreement clarified by legal as soon
as possible.
