I can't believe that somebody with no formal legal training would jump

I have no reason to believe your interpretation is any less BS than
any other (in fact, given who it's coming from, my BS meter is more or
less pegged at the moment) and I would much much rather see someone
with actual legal training vs mere pretentions at it come in and clear
things up at this point; watching a bunch of hackers who haven't
passed the bar debate it doesn't exactly meet my criteria for
productive discussion either.  Why don't we just shelve this until
someone who's actually a lawyer can be consulted?

He's not talking about the "claim credit" clause - the "advertising
clause" he's talking about doesn't effect you at all.  This is a red
herring.
