IANAL. See the part about "grant license". This is all about copyright.
Legalese seems to be a "choose your own adventure"--or rather, "choose your own permutation"--that results in many simple statements. One of those simple statements would be: "For the purposes of improving the software, you grant us license to create derivative works based on your content."
