    Its not really proprietary. Developers get the code, and everyone that gets the binaries also gets the code. Thats GPL compliant.

      To quote Software Freedom Conservancy:

      For approximately twenty years, Red Hat (now a fully owned subsidiary of IBM) has experimented with building a business model for operating system deployment and distribution that looks, feels, and acts like a proprietary one, but nonetheless complies with the GPL and other standard copyleft terms.
