Except Linux is FOSS so Microsoft has a license to do it.

  Only under Linux's GPL license, WSL is most definitively not under GPL

    Probably related to this https://spdx.org/licenses/Linux-syscall-note.html https://spdx.org/licenses/Linux-syscall-note.html

    Is it possible to make WSL a GPL software without making entire Windows a GPL software?
    • dtech 6y ago
      Yes, GPL defines some boundaries but as long WSL acts as stand-alone software and Windows doesn't link against it that's allowed.
