That, at least, seems like FUD to me. An injunction against further
distribution of the part-GPL proprietary product, sure. Disgorgement of
ill-gotten gains, possibly. Damages for copyright violation, conceivably.
But that kind of specific performance? I can't see any common-law
jurisdiction ordering it.
IANAL, TIN{LA,UPL}.
