"The claim that a GPL violation could lead to the forcing open of 
proprietary code that has wrongfully included GPL'd components is simply 
wrong."

Aha, so it's not allowed to take this proprietary code and make it open 
source, but a court is allowed to prohibit the copyright holders to 
distribute their proprietary code as long it includes GPL'd code, while 
they don't stick to the GPL.

For Bob and Raymond this means. At the time, when Bob distributed his 
binary application without the source code, a court could have forbidden 
him to do so and Raymond wasn't allowed to open the source of Bob's 
application, even while Bob violated against the GPL.

But now Bob and Raymond are both right ;), because Bob opens the source 
code :)?!
