Those particular paragraphs make it explicitly clear that the companies in question want to avoid enforcement by the SFC, who would otherwise "force them to comply with the licenses of software they ship". Thus, they want to rewrite Busybox not just to avoid the Busybox license (which seems perfectly acceptable, apart from contributing to the further proliferation of proprietary software), but to allow continued violation of other licenses without fear of enforcement.
