Is Windows shipping with a Linux sub-system just Microsoft admitting

You know, if you bundle GPL software with other software, the whole thing becomes GPL. Subpoena for Windows source code in 3, 2, 1...

No, if you write code on top of GPL code the entire codebase becomes GPL. That's different from bundling compiled binaries together. They are not counted as part of the same program.

It's not even very versatile. For example, you cannot even edit text files under Linux. It's trash.

They don't ship Windows with Linux support. You have to turn on developer preview in order to download Ubuntu. Windows doesn't need Linux to run either, so it isn't a subsystem. It's more like a virtual machine that allows Linux to operate in Windows user space.

Not only can you edit text files on Windows using nano, it's the only way to do so now that Microsoft removed edit. For example.

That should read "Linux files" so it's way, way more than just text files.
