Well, section 6 can be applied alternatively.
I currently do not see it fulfilled either though (even ignoring the
word "prominent" in there), because
6a) definitely is not the case
6b) is not the case (it requires "copy of the library already present on the
user's computer system")
6c) at least I have not noticed such an offer
6d) would be what you asked for I think
6e) I'd say obviously not

While I sure can understand some frustration, I can't see the results so
far justify any outrage from the Chroma developer's side.
Feel free to flame me for it, but my impression is not that "have made
every effort from day one to be completely compliant" included
_carefully_ reading the license, and I'd like to point out that
_everyone_ claims to have done their best so you must excuse us for
being tired of it.
