Please can both sides try to keep their wording tight? Failing to do so only allows this to stretch out further. Software and documentation are different, but not distinct. That is to say: documentation can be software and v-v but may not be.

  If by that you mean we should add an explicit "We define software as
everything non-hardware" clause to our policy, then I'll agree with
you.

The logical conclusion of that process is defining all words in it, then defining all words used in the definitions and so on, which is clearly absurd.
