In this case "the software" means the delivered/downloaded/purchased executable. The rest of it is "lawyer-speak" for "reverse engineering".
Because the other restrictions govern
usage (how and where you can
run the program); this restriction protects Jim's intellectual property, by prohibiting other people from reverse engineering his code and using it to create their own screen savers. (For instance, giant clams in outer space...)
~Ralph S.
There are actually several other restrictions that are not about
usage, but:
By "other license provisions", I meant this one:
YOU MAY NOT:
(i) convert, modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble (except to the extent applicable laws specifically prohibit such restriction), or create derivative works based on the Software.
...which seems to explicitly speak to reverse engineering, and:
(ii) modify, network, rent, lend, loan, and distribute, or create derivative works based upon, the Software in whole or in part;
...which seems to explicitly speak to giant clams in outer space.
But I'm not a lawyer (nor do I play one on TV).
There is one other "license issue" that would drive lawyers crazy - the issue of unilateral changes to license terms, after product purchase.
