Although your comments are interesting, I am talking about legal definitions and the implications of those definitions. Of course I know what a human being is, but in law, meanings are essential, remember when Bill Clinton (having a lawyer background) questioned the meaning of "is" in his deposition?!
If developers want to start adding legal weight to their idealism, they need to have the legal background of people like Eben Moglen.
The fact is, this is a bad addition to the GPL, because from now on, this software will forever be non-GPL which is limits it use and limits freedom.
