Could just be unfamiliarity with the issue. A magazine publisher once 
asked me for advice about the GPL; I told him that as long as he 
distributed the lincese verbatim with the work, and as long as he 
included the source code with the software or provided it on request, 
he should be fine. Once he got that, the GPL seemed a lot less scary 
to him.
