GPL3 disambiguates a lot. Not just the consultant issue, but the API issue. GPL3 makes it clear that an API that is an Open Standard can be a demarcation between GPL3 software and other software.

Too bad the Linux kernel team isn't using GPL3. Essentially all of these issues are concerning the Linux kernel.
