Yes, forever seems to be the curse you are stuck with. So goes what I have heard over the years. Its a bummer too as I know a number of people this affects. This question gets asked more and more these days and we don't seem to have a clear answer for when if ever your taint will wear off. You might want to ask the Samba project how they feel about this and also check with the Software Freedom Law Center. I am curious what they say.
