Sometimes the GPL is a win simply because "otherwise upstream won't have our patches" isn't a high enough short-term cost to overcome the bureaucratic inertia required to release them, but "otherwise we can't use their code at all" makes them compare the cost of license clearance to the cost of reimplementing the GPL'd code.
