If the clause was written in such a way to have this requirement only apply if the product or service has a user interface, then it would not be a violation.

If the product had a UI but was turned into a shared library that 
didn't, would that be a violation?

If such a library had a separate UI program use it (web browser plugin 
or something), would that be a violation?
