I don't see anything wrong with the quote? Other than the policy itself being a ridiculous change, the wording is pretty standard legal speak. Not sure why you're jumping to "ChatGPT Lawyer"

You may not X in a way that X

Definitely reads weird to me. It should suffice to say "you may not X".

You may not X in a way that Y implies that You may X in a way that does not Y, and is more specific (and changes the meaning of the license) vs You may not X

The legal distinction in this case allows for distributing the software for example as source code, but not as a service.
