Maybe it 's the journalist who didn't understand, or the piece could
have been brutally cut. It is true that if you obtain the right to use
content that is under a proprietary license, the copyright owner might
not allow you to offer the part you use under a non proprietary
license.
With the above researve, though, your exemple reminds me uncannily of
a long e-mail discussion based on the misunderstanding you describe 3
years ago.
