Well, this is like a misapplied bad invariant section, one that relates to the main subject and may actually be untrue. As far as I can tell, it's not an interpretation or clarification, but a direct contradiction of the GPL. The same goes for the restrictions on the config file default location. I guess that means we don't have a viable licence :-/
