I hope you are right in your interpretation.
OK, I can see where an issue could arise. If you distribute a “derivative work”[1] of something with a copyleft licence, then you must offer the full source code, including the bits that you did. If you don’t want to do that, then this clause could indeed give you a loophole. You would still have to distribute the unmodified original sources (since you are not the owner of those), but no more. [1] This is one of those legal concepts which is trickier than you or I can imagine.
