Legal damage from GPL violations is generally fine and injunction against further release of the software with the GPL-bound components; release of application code under the GPL is typically something that happens, if at all, in a settlement, because the copyright owner would rather do that than pay damages and restructure the software not to depend on the GPL-bound component.

Good distinction. So, potentially a virus in theory in certain situations but rarely in practice. Might drop the label in the future.
