After thinking this a bit more I'm not so sure anymore whether it is 
meant to mean "except as part of a (product) or (program developed by 
the user)" or "except as part of a (product or program) developed by the 
user"

In a case like this shouldn't gNS contact the copyright holder(s) 
instead of deciding to interpret the license favorably for gNS?
