Comment (by nkuttler):

 Huh? If you distribute something as GPL to me, I get the right from you to
 distribute it under the terms of the GPL. If my right to distribute the
 code is limited by my motives being "educational" or "non-profit" you
 never had the right to distribute the code under the terms of the GPL.

 Obviously, if the lyrics are not licensed in a GPL-compatible way all
 releases that contain them are GPL-incompatible.
