> GPL is intentionally vague as a deterrent for corporate abuse.
no the GPL was intentionally set the way it was.. vague is not the word for that IMHO.. thirty+ years of computer markets has brought every possible challenge plus a few more. So the original LICENSE has been deeply scrutinized and the markets have changes... the parts that needed clarification have had changes as a result.
"vague" is mildly insulting, and there is plenty of that going on as part of this discussion.
