I'm not sure what you mean by your question.  I honestly interpret 
malevolence in the term "viral".  And I honestly think that the term viral 
is very incorrect (even if you remove the malevolence bit).  I honestly 
believe that the GPL does not share any resemblance to a virus.

Does any of this answer your question?  Or did I misinterpret it?
