IMO there was no subtle offense, and no rejection because of license.
But the wording could have been better:

"Please consider asking the upstream to change a license to a more
friendly one. GPL in a support (library) package has too much impact,
especially on packages with other free but slightly GPL-incompatible
licenses".
