I'm curious if you remember any of the specifics.
At a big company I worked for, GPL licenses were strictly forbidden. But I got the vibe that was more about not wanting to wind up in a giant court case because of engineers not being careful in how they combined code.
I'd be super curious if there are explicit intentional acts that people generally think are okay under GPL but where lawyers feel the risk is too high.
