The pitchforks aren't being raised for licence violations, they are raised because software should be free and unencumbered and now somebody is distributing it in a way which doesn't afford the same freedoms to the users.
Free/copyleft licences like the GPL are just the way we've been able to effectively make software free in a world in which copyright applies to software.
