You mean, they refuse to use Linux?
- josephg 4y agoMost companies refuse to incorporate GPL code / libraries into their projects. The question is what counts as a "derivative work". Using linux as an OS target is fine, but statically linking GPLed libraries is generally not ok. Companies seem happy using GPL software (like linux) only so far as they're allowed to ignore all the share-alike clauses of the GPL.
