In my understanding, Alice must not have used the GPL'ed software
in her design and testing.  It would be very hard to avoid this
in practice. Claiming to have avoided it, and still distributing
instructions for Bob to do it, should be regarded with grave
suspicion.

This is something which has been discussed before on this list,
and elsewhere as well, I'd imagine.
