The definition of "Program" in the GPL is about as precise as the
definition of "Point" in Euclidean Geometry.

However, even though the GPL allows for a broad interpretation of
"Program", the GPL hasn't been designed to be applied to non-programs
which are often distributed in a form that is not machine-readable
(see Francesco's message).
