Containers, the GPL, and copyleft: No reason for concern (opensource.com)

Richard Fontana exploresthe intersection of containers and copyleft licensing onopensource.com."One imperfect way of framing the question is whether GPL-licensedcode, when combined in some sense with proprietary code, forms a singlemodified work such that the proprietary code could be interpreted as beingsubject to the terms of the GPL. While we haven't yet seen much of thatconcern directed to Linux containers, we expect more questions to be raisedas adoption of containers continues to grow. But it's fairlystraightforward to show that containers do not raise new or concerning GPLscope issues."
