Currently, earl:mainAssertor and earl:helpAssertor "can be a Person, 
Agent, Software, or recursively another Compound Assertor". A 
foaf:member of a foaf:Group must be a foaf:Agent. So we can't use 
earl:Software in a foaf:Group unless you make earl:Software a subclass 
of foaf:Agent, which we didn't want AFAIR.
