"The person I'm thinking of actually asked a college level, calculus-based physics-for-engineers professor to explain how 3x = 2x + 10 became 5x = 10, x=2 (the numbers might have been different, but it was similarly simplistic)."
3x = 2x + 10 => x = 2? Only for extremely weird values of 2...

Does't this "no military use" modification make the whole thing internally inconsistent? And if so, wouldn't that mean noone can use GPU safely? ("nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works" and all that)
