You're wrong about the argument. It's much more than that, it's understanding that themes are released GPL compatible and that isn't the same as having assets also released under GPL.

Right, but this is where more confusion comes in to play. Many (yeah, I know sorry about the generalization without posting proof) companies and people release their themes and products under GPL without fully understanding what they have done, and once it is out you don't have the right to claw it back.
Again, I am being lazy sitting on my couch so I am not going to hunt down links and examples, but the other part of the argument that has been put forward in the online communities and never actually legally tested in court is the split licence on something that was built purely for WP. The ongoing argument being that something that was built purely for WP falls under standard GPL. AdultKing touched on this earlier in the thread.
