So what? Standalone binaries don't infect other things with copyleft anyway.

Apple never upgraded to GPL3 coreutils, bash and remained away from anything GPL3…

[Ginden]

Oh, you mean specifically GPL v3 license, not any GPL license.

Yeah, broad tivoisation and patent clauses make it a problem, because making any patent litigation on unrelated grounds has potential to lose ability to ship the entire OS.

[mort96]

Is that true? If I make a product, and that product runs some embedded Linux system with GPLv3-licensed coreutils, are you confident that my product isn't infected by GPLv3?

Canonical is trying to position Ubuntu as a relevant player in the embedded space.

[johnny22]

This hasn't stopped anybody from releasing a product that I'm aware of.

There is a lot of FUD spread about GPL so companies tend to just nope out entirely.
