From what I know of the GPL, Morpheus is still in full compliance because the GPL only covers components of a program that are statically linked. The spyware is dynamically linked to a seperate DLL and isn't physically part of Morpheus so it might not fall under the same license because the spyware itself is not a derivative work of any other GPL'ed software.
However, I will admit that my interpretation of the GPL may be incorrect.
