Please stop quoting blatant lies. It absolutely does contain
restrictions. The W3C Document Licence states:
"No right to create modifications or derivatives of W3C documents is
granted pursuant to this license."
That imposes the restrictions. Option 3 only carves out 3 exceptions
for software, supporting materials accompanying software, and
documentation of software.
Downstream users are still restricted from using the material for
anything that is either not covered by those 3 exceptions and not
otherwise permitted by copyright laws under fair use (or similar) where
applicable.
