Those terms are there for the sake so the Android Market is not taken advantage to promote your apps with no fee and then have the same app appear on SlideME with a fee and earn a 98% payout. Second, you can not have an app on the Android Market pop a message and say this is trial and go get the full version from SlideME. It makes sense and its fair what Android Market terms mention.
To simplify, whatever you sell your app for on Android Market should be the same on other markets. What is happening, is a boom from device manufacturers knocking on the door of carriers bundling their offering with content aggregators such as SlideME. This model will make Google, all device manufacturers, developers all happy. Overall, Android will be everywhere and Google services dominating on every device. What the world needs to see including device manufacturers and carriers that there is content out there. So get visibility wherever you can developers is my suggestion.
