I don't think that's a relevant comparison at all. What we have here is two open source technologies that have traditionally been kept from being used together because of specific clauses in their licenses, and some lawyers who have looked at it and are vouching that it's not a problem. That's far from ignoring the proprietary closed source, for-profit licensing of a product where it's very clear cut. The lawyers may be wrong, and it's probably a good idea for enterprise customers to steer clear, but the whole point is that there is some valid contention over whether the technologies can be used together. There is not valid contention over whether you can use Windows without a license.
