He said "home", not "house".  Until we have replicators, a house can't
be redistributed like software.  The comforts of a home, especially in
the context of a party where the invitation can be extended to
friends, fit the GPL a lot better.  But I'd wonder how well the home
supports scaling - is it 64-bit?  And I'm guessing this is a
limited-time offer, which means it wouldn't qualify.  Perhaps
something like the GNU Affero General Public License could work since
it is more like a service.

Someone should invite RMS to show up and give a talk on the
possibilities!

A good friend of mine is performing in a concert that night so I'm
torn....
