The intent seems clear to me; "You can't build + sell the app on its own. But, if you want to use a part of the code in your own app, go for it."

Build and use is enough for most people.

But of course things would be very ambiguous in terms of how much means "meaningful modification".

Right. What if I make a bunch of publicly released changes* that are then pulled back into the Kod codebase?

* Changes that fulfill this "meaningful modification" provision.

My thought[1] is that your changes are your own, do as you please with them. Thats how I would treat it if I intended to do anything with Kod's source code, at least.
