Hi,
I think one part of the message is misleading:

You can distribute it, and the next paragraph says that you can, as
long as you give the source to the client. Is this 100% correct? What
if the client doesn't give the source back to the community?
I would rephrase that, I think that an easier way to express that is
to use bullet points:
- you *can change* the code
- changes *must be shared* with the community
- you *can* use it with commercial software or software of *any* license
- as long as rpclib is *not tightly coupled* with the rest of the
system
A while ago I summarized the delta between various flavours of
licenses, here's the result:

Basically, I think it is important to answer the typical question "can
I use it with my commercial program?" - this is what people are
usually looking for.

p.s. IANAL, just a humble mortal :-)
