So you would prefer you had by mistake infringed on MS/Google or Oracle code then some dude's GPL shitty left pad ? For me it seems that the license is not important but who exactly you upset.
Anyway the point is the license did not infected Google code, Google had to pay damages and it could have been GPL or other proprietary license.
