> The text of the law has plenty of issues, especially the somewhat fictional line between "operating system" and "application". Would "curl" be part of the former or latter? Probably both...
"curl" is very much an application. It's separately developed, is cross platform, etc. It does not provide additional access to applications/services on top of it and doesn't even have HTML/CSS/JS support.
In terms of an example for "both", Emacs is a better example. Or Firefox/Chromium.
