As long as the "proprietary notices" are reasonable, I think the software probably follows the DFSG and could be uploaded to main. But IIRC, Amazon have been software patenters - is the "waive any claim [...] your use" stuff an indication there are active patents around this? Amazon trying to hinder defensive counterclaims? I'm suspicious because copyright licences don't often state that quite so strongly.
