I think I *do* understand what you're saying. What I'm saying is that the distinction you are trying to raise is orthogonal to the legal one, which always looks to your intention. So that there is no way to evade the GPL by doing things that happen to be individually OK, and in sum, just happen to get around the license. They only way to do this is if it is *really* an accident; not as something you plan on, since that would, ipso facto, be an intention.
