So, F4I stole a whole bunch of code? I don't understand the whole GPL issue.

Well, "stole" is the wrong word, as the original authors still have their copies too. But F4I and Sony copied and distributed a whole bunch of code without the copyright holder's permission. Even among those who don't think that such copying is always immoral, many think that it's immoral when done for a commercial product. But the main issue is the hypocrisy of a record label -- a strident advocate of copyright -- completely ignoring the rights that the copyright regime they so love, gives to someone else.
