Standard legalese - [If the licence is correct and appears current] it
is unenforcable (they can't enforce the licence terms or provisions so it could be struck down)

[and/or if the licence is current and appears correct] it is void
(although it looks OK, it fails and is an invalid licence for some legal reason)

[and/or if the licence is current and appears correct] it is voidable -
you can ask the court to strike it down as invalid / kill it if certain stuff happens or in certain outside circumstances. Think of the whole thing as a series of if ... else type statements or a complicated case statement. [No pun intended here - no matter what happens :) All stuff in brackets/parentheses is my own comments]
