There was a lengthy discussion some weeks ago about exactly this.
Sveasoft has expressed that they think they're in the clear because they're shipping the sourcecode to older versions of their distribution and their current version is nothing more than their old distribution plus some additional proprietary code.
I still believe that this is both incorrect and also impolite but we'll only know for sure if someone tries to enforce the GPL in this case.
