Yeah, a person could mentally choke to death on those license terms.
Plus they where written before the days of collabortive development teams.
My position (until Freescale locks me up):
I only distribute username/password access to those who "need to know" for the purpose of supporting an i.MX licensed device.
The people having a valid username/password pair, by its use, is the written acknowledgement that they recognize the materials are of a "limited distribution" nature.
That should cover the general "Protect our IP as you would protect your own" clause.
One of the problems (which Freescale said they would fix in the next release) is that this material is covered by two (2) of the Freescale licenses but you can only see one of them when you sign for the material on their site.
They **should** be including both licenses in the archive bundle next time.
They **should** be including the sources to the GPL's binaries they are shipping in the ATK source bundle next time.
**should**
But they also said: "Thank you" for bring those matters to their attention. Nice folk.
