That's not quite what I said but I believe it to be the case that if an end-user installs GRUB2 (or any GPL-covered software) the end user can pretty much do anything he or she wants. The GPL's provisions really only affect you if you are distributing the software to others, they don't restrict just using it for yourself.

It's true, you're in the clear if you're not distributing GPLed software. But that's moot here, right? Ubuntu seems to want to distribute their software, hopefully preinstalled on turnkey Linux systems...?
