That doesn't sound right: most software companies, for example, make extensive use of Linux.
The standard I'm used to is:
* Internal use of GPL software is fine.
* SAAS products with GPL software are fine.
* GPL software leaving company infra is fraught. Either just don't do it, or bring in legal if there's a strong business need.
This is different from, say, AGPL, where many companies do just ban it outright.
