The use of GPL does not prevent people from using code in
proprietary software. It does prevent people from publically
releasing the proprietary software without releasing the
source code.

I am not a lawyer, nor have I retained one to verify my
position; however, my use of GPL code does not require
me to make my source public unless I make the final
product public. A military entity is not making their
final products public (up to the point of impact
anyway :-) either, so they can happily use GPL without
any problems (unless, I believe, they try to sell the
product to another entity).
