If that code was under a proprietary licence, you would not use it without paying the price, because then you'd be *stealing* code ? And since you have a deep respect for intellectual property, copyright laws etc, you would not, by any mean, *steal* code by not respecting the licence terms ? Do we agree on this ? Yes ? Fine. Then how dare you complain about the fact that the GPL don't let you steal code ? Don't you feel something like a contradiction here ? Too bad that you can't have your cake and eat it too...
