I used to work for a large publicly traded company on an embedded
firmware team and all the way down to (I think even my direct manager)
we were strictly told we were never allowed to use GPL software for
anything.

It's unfortunate, we were actually paying consultants quite a lot of
money to continuously backport some (permissively licensed) open source
software to our platform. It seems like it would have been way cheaper
to get our changes upstream but the idea of sharing source code just
wouldn't fly.
