Software doesn't run itself and corporations don't run software: human beings do.
There's no such thing as a non-human entity running software.
The only people who don't grasp this simple fact are the ones who have never worked in a corporation. They very much own and run things legally. Which is why when the liquidation man comes a knocking you don't lose your shirt for owning stock in Enron.
If the latter, let's say me and my buddy both use the software individually, legally. We sit in the same room. Ok? We are together working on some non-profit project not involving the software. Ok? Now we use the software for it. Ok? Niw we make a profit. Ok?
Where do you draw the line?
RMS would be pretty opposed to these ideas.
Not allowed.

All allowed.
The answer to all those questions are pretty simple and straight forward. I'm not sure why you're trying to muddy the waters here.

RMS has failed catastrophically in his goal of letting users have access to the source code of the applications they use. I don't really care for what he has to say.
I don't know how you can say that unless you have impossibly high standards. If it wasn't for the GPL, Intel and AMD would have had zero incentive to opensource their drivers. NVIDIA and arm drivers are still proprietary but panfrost is in development. In an alternative timeline it is plausible that none of this would have happened.

People don't exist they are made up of cells.
Humans don't run themselves: cells do.
There is no such thing as a non-cell entity running humans.

Biology don't exist, they are made of atoms
Cells dont run themselvs, atoms do.
There is no such thing as a non atom entity running cells.
We has a species have a hard time trusting atoms, they make up everything.
I want to make the world better for people, not for Amazon.
