I doubt that is the case, although I'm not sure. From what I understand, you have two options in such a case: a) You follow the terms of the license and license your work according to the copyleft license or b) You don't follow the terms of the license and commit copyright infringement. In case b) people can sue you and demand huge amounts of money from you, but that does not immediately mean that your work is no longer protected by copyright.
Is this correct? Or am I just talking nonsense?
