What they can't do is take GPL'd software and release modified versions of it which split the community and can't be folded back into the mainline. The GPL doesn't allow that kind of harmful behavior.

I think you really should read the GPL again, you can split whatever you want, you can make them incompatible...really whatever you want, BUT the modified GPL software need the changes opensourced too, IF and just IF you redistribute that code.
