The article seems to suggest it can't be used with even Linux b/c Linux isn't under the SSPL. So the license seems to in effect make the software effectively unusable
Which in a way isn't their fault.. there is a weird license lock-in that seems to happen with licenses and it really forces your hand to use a particular license for practical reasons
I know for instance Clojure is all under the EPL - so it makes it a weird licensing issue to use it with GPL code (The way I understand it is that you can, if you basically treat it all like GPL code.. maybe?)
