You are right, that's not the way it was done. It is the copyright law 
that protects every program from being used in a way that is not allowed 
by the license granted by its owner. Perfectly legal, and exactly the 
same thing every other software company is doing. Copyleft is a (funny 
name for a) license, not a law.
