Maybe just in the USA. But also Microsoft is on Google's side here. Also doesn't Microsoft's WSL also have this problem as a "reverse WINE" ?

  Except Linux is FOSS so Microsoft has a license to do it.

    Only under Linux's GPL license, WSL is most definitively not under GPL

      Probably related to this https://spdx.org/licenses/Linux-syscall-note.html https://spdx.org/licenses/Linux-syscall-note.html

      Is it possible to make WSL a GPL software without making entire Windows a GPL software?
      • dtech 6y ago
        Yes, GPL defines some boundaries but as long WSL acts as stand-alone software and Windows doesn't link against it that's allowed.
