The inclusion of a GPL licence in with source does not make it GPL licensed. It is a strong indication that it's GPL licensed, and would likely eliminate any penalties due to that assumption, but its inclusion in error doesn't make that code GPL licensed. For the GPL to apply to the code - there has to have been - at some point in time - the intent to release it as GPL. The above only applies if they wrote the code. If they got the code GPL licensed from some other vendor - then they clearly have to release code.
