This section is irrelevant since it does not apply to the sole copyright holder.

this would only be relevant if lwn decided to use this license for their code.

since they have not done so, pointing out that if they used a particular license they would be required to release the code running on their website is not relevant.

Wow, I thought it was relevant b/c it is a license which more people who care about freesoftware who write web apps should use. It empowers the user of the app. It promotes openness.
