That's funny because it is exactly what I think about your refusal to

Show me where you get your ideas. I can show you that mine come
from the writing of the license.
Plus, you definitely have taken one sentence and singled it out here.
That is called cherry picking, taking an idea out of context to suit
your own purposes.
Thus it is people like you who continue to deny the actual language
of the license that make it a constant chore to explain it repeatedly.

Nonetheless, any
code mixed with GPL code and distributed automatically becomes GPL
regardless of any other distribution of the same code under another
license.
This is quite wrong and, frankly, far more scarily so than mere
misunderstandings about what is actually in the GPL. The fact that
you persist in it despite having had it explained to you several times
shows a serious and potentially dangerous misconception about
copyright, not just about the details of a particular license. I very
much hope there are not many more people out there who share this
misconception.
