in the end all of this is a strategy to protect the intention and benefit of Free Software. as a FOSS developer and user i don't care about the legal distinction but about the resulting effect. as our understanding of the law improves and as the methods and strategies to take advantage of public code evolves, our strategies to defend against misuse must necessarily also evolve. for me the question is not, which interpretation is right, but which one works to convey and protect the intention of FOSS licenses. the most important aspect in my eyes is that the intention has always been consistent and will not change, and that all changes in the explanation and interpretation are intended to uphold that intention.
