If I'm not mistaken, it's suggesting that you can only buy from other worker-owned cooperatives.

If you're not buying from another worker-owned cooperative you could buy it second-hand, which isn't ordering any new labor to be done.
If this is what they intended and if this wasn't clear to you then I think that's a problem for the license because there's really no room for such ambiguity and interpretation. It's going to have to be a lot more explicit than it is for it to be useful.
