It's just not actually the right thing.
Doh, sorry! I didn't scroll down far enough. <blush>
For what it's worth, I totally agree with you. Their business model is their problem, if they choose to use GPL licensed code then they must comply with all the obligations.
Given how easy it is to be GPL clean and still include proprietary code (using dynamic binary-only modules and proprietary user-land programs) I'm never quite sure how companies get themselves into this pickle.
