The software industry is full of hypocrisies like this. Yes it is true that
a company cannot legally stop a customer from releasing GPLed code; in
reality they just use other threats to get what they want. For example, if
you release code today, we will not give you the update tomorrow, or if you
have a problem we don't answer the phone or you want to renew your contract
next year? Sorry it costs 2x now. Etc.
