I just don’t see the distinction as clearly when it’s a single binary that cannot be decoupled or introspected.

Why is it if I build a static binary with GPL code and distribute it I must open source my changes; but if you do the same as a whole OS it’s not necessary.

Feels like it should all be fine or none of it is fine somehow.

If you go that way, every bash script you've ever written should also be under the GPL.

And R code, at a quick glance.

		only if someone was to copy the entire script and then put it into their distributed binary; which is what I am saying that the OEMs are doing with Linux.
