<<Does this infer that a mean spirited group could setup their own "Organization

The GPL is a legal document, and the notion of an individual is well defined
in the law (in contexts like this it includes corporations for example). So
no, you can't set up a group, declare it to be an "organization", and have
it treated as an entity by the law.
