So far this whole discussion seems to be a case of ask the wrong question, get the wrong answer. I have seen no evidence to suggest that one cannot write some code that depends on non-free software, release it under the GPL, and have the GPL apply to that code. What would be against the spirit of the GPL would be to write code that depends on GPL software and to release only a compatibility layer under the GPL, keeping the main functionality non-free. Since 1) the third-party apps that are being integrated do not depend on Drupal and 2) the module authors do not own the rights to the code in the third-party apps, this issue is irrelevant to the situation under discussion.
