You may not make the functionality of the Software or a Modified version
available to third parties as a service or distribute the Software or a
Modified version in a manner that makes the functionality of the

available to third parties as a service”
y = “distribute the Software or a Modified version”
You may not X, or (Y in a manner that X)
Perfectly normal legalese. Just like “included but not limited to…” it sets a condition and adds a more specific version of that condition, which seems redundant but helps during actual litigation.
