But he also said that commercial linux software has its proper place in
the Linux world. Its no universal principle and he is definitely not
insisting on all software being GPLed. Just that it worked for one
project does not mean it is good for all. Linus explicitly said that
he thinks something like a GUI might be better in the hands of a
commercial enterprise (with which I would disagree also).
