No, the same applies to desktop GNU/Linux distributions. You can
develop, use and ship software with the license of your choice
(including proprietary), you don't extend GPL software or link with
it. Otherwise, only GPL compatible licenses would exist in the Linux
world.
The GPL FAQ address this kind of questions:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html
I meant: "provided you don't extend...".
