>You list corporation AND company. Gotta be thorough! But you left out partnerships. And sole proprietorships. If you went to the trouble of listing both corporation AND company, in addition to just saying "everyone", but you left out other business types, was there a reason for that?
I listed living human beings, certain entities (corporations and companies) and sentient individuals. I want to allow people, corporations, businesses and AI (Like the Puppet Master from Ghost in the Shell), and intelligent Aliens, as well as well trained Orangutans and Gorillas to have access to my software. I think I'll add partnerships and sole proprietorships to the list good call!
>Also, "sentient individual". Philosophers can't agree on what sentience is. Is there even a legal definition? And you only consider sentient individuals.What about sentient group-consciousnesses? Why wouldn't a "sentient individual" be considered part of "everyone"?
The Puppet Master from Ghost in the Shell, Advanced Artificial Intelligence systems, Intelligent Aliens, Gorillas, Orangutans, Dolphins and any other animal that can think and use my software and wants to use my software should be included, they're not people, so I use Sentient Individual as a catch all. Corporations aren't living human beings, but are persons, they are entities, so everyone wouldn't catch corporations only the people that work for them. So including corporations was an attempt to add these business entities which are non living legal persons.
1c)his program may be used by any civilian, military officer, government agent, private citizen,... commoner, clergy, laity, and generally all classes and ranks of people, persons, and human beings mentioned and those not mentioned.
That last bold piece covers everyone ( all classes and ranks of people, persons, human beings mentioned and those not mentioned) including Non Commissioned Officers and Enlisted Personnel and is in the same sentence as the rest of it so It would be hard to argue that they weren't included.
