claiming that software is illegal based on how some people (who aren't the authors of the software) choose to use it is a very dangerous thing to do.
This is exactly what the game console and big media companies are trying to do.
There's a very good reason that the "open source definition" requires that there be no limit on the field of use of software for a license to qualify as open source.
It's sad to see GPL proponents playing into their enemies hands by trying to declare competing software to be illegal.
