Seems to me they go somewhat beyond "preserving freedoms"
and into other areas. It's one thing to *allow* people to
use the source if they can get it; it's another thing to
try to force people who have no interest in the source
themselves to act as agents for hosting and distributing
it.

Still, it appears that this is what the LGPL requires, so
I agree that it's not appropriate for Python.
