"[...] has put paid to the common myth that GPL software cannot be
included in proprietary software without the entire mix having to
necessarily be released under the GPL.

[...] they could use the Library GPL, which was specifically designed
for this purpose."

Isn't the LGPL a different beast from the GPL?
How does something designed in the LGPL dispel a "myth" about the GPL?

Also, the tone of the article suggests that the fact GPL software can't be
used in proprietary software is a bad thing.
