This statement betrays a lack of understanding of the GPL.
GPL is a copyright license. It permits things like posting someone else's work on your website for all and sundry to download at will. Or using someone else's work in a device like a wireless router and selling the device on your website.
In short, it covers uses not included in what's commonly understood to be 'end use.' It covers uses that are copyright infringements absent permission from the copyright holder.
If you truly are an end user of GPL software the GPL doesn't apply to you. Hence, it is not a EULA.
The black box EULA in the article, the kind used by MS, Apple and others, do apply to end users. Big difference between the two and they shouldn't be confused as similar. They are completely different animals.
