Since you've not defined a scenario, I'll assume you're talking about
the one mentioned in the subject line. In that context there is direct
infringement, at least some of the time:
In that context, there are cases where Debian is distributing a program
where some of the source is GPL licensed, and some of the source has
more restrictive terms.
Because of the way apt works, at least some of the time these accompany
each other. [Though, granted, not always.]
