That has always been the case, don't you know GPL is
also called viral license for a reason ;)

Unfortunately like many you misunderstood GPL to be
free as in beer. This issue is not new interpretation
its has always been like that. People started building
bridges between GPl & proprietary licensed software
without fully understanding GPL ( this is all relevant
to software distributed in source form)

This issue is relevant to GPLv2 we are not even
discussing impact of GPLv3
