I didn't peek. I guessed from what their document says. But for all I
know, they're referring to some past experience, not a previous version of
CHORD.

If they dragged you to court over this, which I'm sure they won't but if
they did, I'd guess the judge is just gonna tell you you shouldn't use a
piece of software if you don't understand the license. But I'm sure it
won't come to that...
But whatever the case, do what yams suggested with the patch file idea.
It's safe no matter what the interpretation.
