    For a moment I freaked out that they were only gonna exclude Linux and not open source in general but it seems they exclude based on the license based on this article which is a good thing. The dozens of OpenBSD and FreeBSD users may rest safely now

      Doesn’t matter. The thin edge of the wedge is going to get in. In 5 years Linux will be forced to comply.
