I wonder what the effect of adding something like this to the copyright notice would be:
The licensor considers the lack of restrictions on running the
program, as spelled out in clause 0, essential to the spirit of
the license.
I suspect something like this could aid in arguing that a hypothetical
future "GPL" with a web-services restriction is not a "revised and/or
new version" without hampering the ability to use this code along with
other GPL-licensed code.
