Right? I may have missed something in the context of your statement, but various levels of mingling are allowed, depending on the other licenses. The simple one is that GPL software can be agregated with non-free software, for example, for things like a distro (i.e., a compilation of software). In addition, if the licenses are compatible, GPL software can call routines written with other (compatible licenses), and, iiuc, vice versa. It really gets complicated and detailed--if you have specific questions, I'd probably suggest that you do some reading, or ask questions on a list devoted to the topic. IANAL.
