It says

        But when you distribute the same sections
        as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the
        distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
        License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
        entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of
        who wrote it.

What is there to misinterpret about that? It specifically states that
the work as a whole, and all those part of it, but be licensed under
the terms of THIS LICENSE (i.e GPL).

Maybe I don't understand your point.
