Using the software is not the same as using the source of the software. 
  That's really where your "semantic" gets skewed.

You can't use the source unmodified as the basis for your software 
without making the larger work a derivative and you can't modify the 
source without release the changes under the GPL as well.  That's the 
only 2 restrictions of the GPL and they don't cover *usage* of the 
software, which *is* unrestricted for any purposes.

There's no fanboyism, just logic.
