Copying, publicly showing, modifying or building on the Services is restricted

Three related list items restrict what you may do with Roku's material: copying, reproducing, distributing, publicly performing or publicly displaying all or part of the Services; modifying the Products or Services, removing proprietary rights notices or markings, or making derivative works from them; and copying any feature, function or graphic. The only stated permission is copying, distributing or public display “as expressly permitted by us”, and nothing here grants a general licence to reproduce the Services.
