It appears Monty is now in Microsoft's pocket and promoting Microsoft-style misinformation. However, on one point he might be right:
Lastly, I'm not in agreement of his interpretation of the GPL, although I'm double checking with Richard. Who says you can't build proprietary apps on top of Free Software without extra legal clauses?
If you receive someone else's GPL-covered code and include it in a larger program, the entire larger program has to be free software.
I don't know what Monty actually said, so I don't know if what he said is right or wrong, but I've told you the facts about this point.
