Are you sure? I thought the text "to deal in the Software without
restriction, including *without limitation* the rights to..." (my
emphasis) meant that it explicitly granted the rights to do anything
with the software, and that the terms following it ("use, copy, modify,
merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the
Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do
so,") were just examples of what could be done with the right to "deal
in the Software without restriction"?
