La oración completa describe que se requiere licencia para usar los
productos que implementan el software. Esta parte no se refiere en si al
software sino su uso con ETHERNET/IP(TM) COMMUNICATION STACK. Completo el
texto con lo previo a tu cita que faltaba de la oración.

To make, have made, use, import, offer to sell, sell, lease, market,
or otherwise distribute or dispose of any products that implement this
software,
