I don't think this option is selected by default, I'm pretty sure that you have to check the box to approve the publication elsewhere, but I don't recall for sure, so those who are worried should check their GR "settings" tab in the profile edit page. (That particular option is under "Privacy" just below "who can view my profile?")
That's totally true...but the GR push feature doesn't allow for removal of some parts of the review and it always says something about being via Goodreads.
