The second scary bit, which I didn't mention above, is made clear in the blog post from the company CEO, Donna Dubinsky:
Why do we offer you a license without deployment rights? Well, although we are very excited about the ultimate applications of this technology, we feel it is too early to expect commercial class applications. We do not want to mislead you as to the state of the technology. Perhaps we're wrong! If you find yourself closer to a commercial application than we expect, let us know. We promise that we'll speed up our commercial licensing plans!!
which is from http://www.numenta.com/for-developers/blog.php In other words: Go make cool stuff with our technology, however if you are about to make lots of money, please let us know and we will then calculate how much it is going to cost you for a licence. There is no way I'd ever agree to terms like that, especially given that they cover not just code, but also all business ideas etc. related to this technology.
