Hi there,

The same question pops into my head and we found the license with the help of Google:

https://www.altera.com/download/licensing/lic-jam.html

So in summary altera add this to protect them self from being sued. They let you do and reuse the source code by adding your own license for your product. The only thing you need to do is to leave the "Copyright (C) Altera Corporation" in the source code + adding your own license.

From that example see the modified source and they used this code to integrate it into there GPL license project.

This is my own interpretation from the license and I'm not responsable from my bad understanding of it, if I'm not understanding it properly ;)
