Polluting what idea specificially?

Not in my experience, but let's buttume, for the moment, that that's true. If that's the case, then it's not particularly valuable and you don't really need it, right? The people who are releasing the code are just charging too much for it in your not so humble opinion, right?

Hmm. This is interesting. "The OSS stuff" is trivial, but it's *also* "used... to go beyond the ordinary and produce something that has value". Kind of a contradiction there, especially since the stuff that "has value" is also covered by the GPL, too. So there must be stuff under the GPL that has value.

Yup, people who use the GPL for their code are saying, "Here, feel free to learn from this code. You can also use it in your own projects if you agree to release the code you base on this under the GPL, too." No one is forcing you to take them up on the offer if you don't like it, but you're still free to study and learn from it.
