1. Matt just claimed it wasn't about software at all. So we've now moved on to saying "well it's about code, but not GPL code".
Progress, i guess?
2. The agreement does not limit it to non-GPL code in any way, so i'm really not sure where you are getting that from. The plain terms cover all of automattic (et al) software, which includes the stuff that has GPL code in it.
The normal way such an agreement would be written to cover only non-GPL pieces would be to say it does not attempt to modify or change rights you get elsewhere, blah blah blah.
It includes no such clause.
If you've got meaningful parol evidence that it was meant to cover only non-GPL code, great, let's see it.
(since the agreement is both badly written and not fully integrated, it would be valid to do so).
