Selling someone a programmed PIC is definitely redistribution in binary 
form. As I read it that redistribution must produce the required texts. 
This is clearly written with a splash screen and/or help>about menu 
option in mind. Sadly, no such thing on a keyfob or melody card. And 
where are you supposed to reproduce all those notices? On the melody 
card, printed on top of the photo of the lovely beach?

For software to be seriously usable in a (deeply) embedded context you 
need a license without that clause.

Note that it is not important what you read in it. What matters is what 
a judge *might* read in it (risk is on your side).
