restrictions on other platforms but it says that you may not "create
derivative works based upon the software". This seems to be a

they say "can be used as a back-end for other programming systems".
I know nothing about copyright law but I can assume that the
restrictions are there for the following reasons:

[2] that uses the communications protocol to control non LEGO products.
The LEGO Group seems to be accepting of other programing environments
for the MindStorms line as long as the software doesn't use LEGO
trademarks or gives the impression that it is endorsed by The LEGO
Group.
Of course this is all just speculation though.
