Hi,
I do not think we have an official position: we stick to the GPL
licence. I admit that the interpretation may be sometimes tricky, but in
these case it's only a lawyer (or better a judge) that can give a
definite answer.
In general I thin Vincent has outlined the prevailing interpretation.
All the best.
