Unfortunately, the FAQ is a FAQ and not the license.

As you can see, this is someones interpretation of a vague agreement,
just as mine is/was.  Even the FAQ uses non-firm phrases like
"we believe", and 'borderline case', then there will be questions.

And thats why those 'interpretable' statements were removed from GPL 3.
