Which is exactly why license tainting like that is not a thing and never been proven to be. If I break rules, I don't lose rights to my own works, I just pay with money and paying reparations is an entirely different thing.
- mikekchar 7y agoYes, you are correct. Infringement is infringement. Keep in mind that you are never compelled to license your work under the GPL even if you infringe the copyright of GPL code. It is an offer to remedy the infringement. You can accept the offer or you can decide not to accept the offer. It's your choice. However, even if you replace the infringing use with a non-infringing use, you still have to deal with the original infringement. You can't really escape that.
