Given that lawyers wrote the license, I'ld bet my
salary that its any entity that can be sued.
This is, after all, a legal document. I assume that
at the very least the organization has to have
some sort of legal standing, i.e., that it has officers filed
somewhere that are legally and financially liable.
If you want, you can always send us a letter as the
organization (letterhead and the whole deal) and we'll
forward it to the lawyers.
Remember though: some gray areas are best left that way.
