@q3k that's not attached to that statement.

I read lots of contracts. The placement of that statement is important.

@mwl So do I, and I disagree ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

EDIT: A bit more detail:

1. The ordinary (grammatical) reading of this sentence clearly qualifies the grant to be 'for purposes of ...'.
2. The reading of the entire contract (especially the rest of section 12) shows the intent that Vultr does not want anything to do with your content, let alone to license it for their own use.
3. Contra Proferentem

These are standard rules of contract interpretation, both under US/English contract law and under PECL.
