For example, let's say you have a product that doesn't use 
JSON. It's proprietary, and you distribute it under a 
proprietary license. You want to include JSON parsing, so you 
incorporate this GPL'd library. Then you distribute it under 
your proprietary license.

Recipient says "Wait, you used fast.json! That means this is 
now GPL, I want the source". Then what?

The recipient has no say in this, but the original author can 
demand that you either stop distribution or purchase a compatible 
license.

Being able to use GPL on SAAS doesn't satisfy the use case 
here. This is a compiled library, it can be used in any piece 
of software.

My point was that you can use GPLed code in a proprietary 
service. But you can also ship propritary code separately that 
the end user links with the GPLed code. It is only when you 
bundle the two that you get a derived work.
