If somebody prefers an other OS for license reasons only, let them. You cannot have open source software without open source license. If a company chooses Linux, they do it for technical reasons, and because they're able to modify the sources to suit their needs. Whatever advantages they see in Linux, they have to know that they have to accept its license. Just saying "I like your software but your license is stupid" is childish. Use CE instead.
