It doesn't, because shell scripts aren't *combined* with bash, they are *read* by bash. They are just data like any other text file. e.g. my OpenOffice file is not under the GPL, I'm not violating it though. Also there are a lot of proprietary scripts for Perl, Python, PHP, etc., which are not in violation.
