The real reason for the success of the RHEL product line is that its been GPL
from the beginning. And commercial software saw it fit to leverage this
GPL-pool, which is OK, but to then come around and say that "The support
from commercial software is a major reason for the success of the RHEL
product line" is trying to portray the situation up-side-down.
This does not mean that we shouldn't allow non-GPL linkage, on the contrary,
I am even calling for a stable API for the benefit of everyone, but it's
probably the closed-source market's arrogant behavior that forces
GPL-developers to respond in kind. Which is rather sad, if you think about
it.
Thanks!
