The whole thing is vaguely and noncomittally worded, it promises basically nothing.

Take this bit for example:

In other words: talk to the individual publishers of each game and get their permission :P At which point GOG's involvement is almost irrelevant, if you have the publisher's consent then they might as well give you a copy.
