Say there is a nice GPLv2 library i know is distributed with every Linux distribution, something small. I write a closed source app that dynamically links to this GPLv2 library at runtime and calls a few functions from it. Who is violating the GPLv2 here? The developer? They haven't actually distributed the GPLv2 code, how can they be bound by its terms?
Is it the user? The GPLv2 explicitly says that the end user does not need to agree to the license at all just to run the program, so how can THEY be bound by it either?
If piracy were the problem, they wouldn't be actively trying to move back to album sales now would they? People can pirate whole albums just as easily as they can single songs, so what makes you think this isn't about their failed business model of selling a CD 80% full of crap to people who wanted one mediocre, dynamically compressed one-hit wonder? Technology allowed people to avoid THAT SHIT, not paying in general.
They are computers that leap from datacenter to datacenter, solving previously unsolvable problems, and hoping each time that the next leap will be the leap home.
You can't install it on your TV set either without quite a bit of work. That's a problem of the platform and the hardware, not the software or the license governing its distribution.
You don't need to do any of that, you still have the source including the modifications and that's all the GPLv2 guarantees to you. If you want to write code that runs on this specific device, there are established ways to do that, and some of them don't require paying apple at all. Compile the damn thing and put it on Cydia.
The hackers have already been granted an exception to unlock the phone, and ACTUALLY screw with the baseband, jailbreaking just takes away Apples control of the OS running on the main processor, and they don't like that. They are full of shit if this is their excuse, because as i said, unlocking is already legal.
Internet explorer deeply integrated in Vista? I remember all the claims that Internet explorer had been separated out for Vista specifically.........another lie? Or summary full of shit?
Windows 7 is NT 6.1 because it's really just a.1 upgrade over Vista (NT 6). If they wanted to lie to applications and change the version number, they could have. They have mountains of other app compatibility settings, the number itself shouldn't hold anything back.

What's your definition of "use" here?

I do, it comes right after "oh-shit-we're-screwed sunday and "pwned monday".
