"they" refers to the business creating the software--extjs or docker.

It's viral, any connection whatsoever, not sure where they draw the line. GPL is just not enforced except when it comes to selling software licenses.

I wonder how you could say such a patently (and copyright-ly) false thing, especially considering you replied to a comment explicitly mentioning Linux.

Would you not think all these huge companies would think twice before using Linux if it meant being dependent on the good will of everyone who ever contributed to any of thousands of packages that come with a typical distribution?

You can use the software any way you want. The GPL doesn't stop you.

Oh, by the way: While stalking you, I noticed you had something much smarter to say 443 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11022989

"I predict that the term "micro" will be replaced by the term "modular", and that docker will create a replacement for the microcontainer named the modular loader/container."
