Oh, yes it is. GPL and commercial DO NOT COVER EVERYTHING, damnit. And I don't fscking care for Oracle, IBM, etc. - there are folks doing stuff under other free licenses and I find casual dismissing them from consideration disgusting at extreme. Especially if you take care to count the amounts of good ideas that came from, say it, CSRG folks and from Oracle. Good ideas we are using. Shame...
