I think the FSF lawyers would refer everyone to the GPL and it's waivers
of suitability.

How would an application like PSPP be compliant or non-compliant with
ADA?  This website:

http://www.interactiveaccessibility.com/services/ada-compliance

(which surely isn't legal advice) suggests that ADA does not apply to
applications like PSPP (or, for that matter, SPSS) because they are not
“places of public accommodation.”

But this is ultimately a question for the lawyers who would defend
someone subject to the ADA (e.g., YSU), not for software developers.
