Of course.. then you run into cases where people have cc-nc-nd
licensed the localization files with all the text for an application
in an attempt to unfree code they are obligated to leave GPLed (I can
provide an example of exactly this if someone wants to see it).

Even things like this are technically okay, they are violations of the
spirit of the license and the likely intentions of the licenses. As
such such actions should be avoided.. and may well be precluded by
future editions of the GPL should practices like that become
widespread.

Just something else to keep in mind related to this subject.
