Can you elaborate on the second point, Simon? Are you referring to the "third party rights the Information Provider is not authorised to license" language? If so, I'm afraid they've merely made explicit what is implicit in all licenses - if there is third party material in a work that the open licensor isn't authorized to license, then that material isn't licensed to you, regardless of what the license says.
