I agree with you. But I think the emphasis here is 3 in GPL3, not GPL. Because of the patent-bits of GPL3 I would guess.

There's a reason I didn't specify any numbering in my comment. Since the very beginning (L)GPL has been TOTALLY out of the question in Android (they admitted screwing up for bluez)... I'm feeling way too tired and kind of fed up with Android to dig up the mails, but you'll find public statements in mailing lists from google/android people stating that (L)GPL software (without any numbering) is out of the question for Android.
