Just because the language of the GPL makes assumptions about the work to which
it is applied, does not mean that it cannot be applied to works which are aside
from those assumptions. There are quite a few non-software works which have been
licensed under the GPL (though not tested in court, I suspect) - in my
experience mostly graphical works provided along-side GPL'd software (eg.
games).
The important thing is to look for the definitions section of the license, and
try to work out how each term would apply to the work in question.

I didn't tell Sun to apply a software license to a programming language. The
choice was theirs. However, once they did, it opens a question of
interpretation in the context of what is licensed.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It just happens to be a program that allows the development and execution of
other programs as well. This is the case with any computer language.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
