All the replies to this spreading anti-GPL FUD are doing Microsoft's work for them. The idea that the GPL is "viral" and will latch onto any code it gets near is an Orwellian turn of phrase invented by Microsoft from what, 30 years ago? And it has worked because people are scared of the GPL! It's gonna get you! Don't even get close to it!
Nevermind that Red Hat built a billion dollar business on top of GPL licensed code. Never mind the millions of embedded systems being sold with GPL code in them. Nevermind Google, Facebook, Netflix, etc., etc. all eating Microsoft's lunch a thousand times over using GPL code. Businesses better stay away! It's dangerous!
