They were poopooing that before the OpenWRT case. I don't think there's evidence to suggest that the OpenWRT case made them less willing to use GPL (especially since use of GPL would always have implied they should open-source the firmware derived from it).

Until then, some companies didn't seem to take it too seriously.
