GPL is viral, one drop of it will make everything else GPL, especially when you redistribute the code.
When there is a technical and legal due diligence, they use tools that scan your source code and if there is a GPL or public code that is also matching in their database (which is huge, believe me, even sites that had forums that are down for a few years by now) - they flag it.
