The above rules pertain specifically to distribution, correct? I ask because the first rule does not seem to apply when you are extracting a contained item from a container: each item is only governed by its respective license. Thus, the licenses of all other items are ignored and there is no intersection of permissions to be considered. Likewise, when doing something to an extracted item, you only need to obey its respective license. Thus, the licenses of all other items are ignored and there is no sum of restrictions to be considered.
