Particularly nobody says proprietary licensing is viral even though most licenses are and almost every refers to and focuses on the fact that you may avoid infringement by releasing the combined work under the GPL often confusing the fact that you can for must or even assuming that the combined work is automagically GPL. Also aficionados of permissive licensing seem to be frequently not only OK with proprietary licensing but approve of the fact that code can be used in such a fashion. It's almost as if the attitude is everyone's else's work MUST be free for ME to use in MY proprietary code else they are somehow taking away MY freedom!
