People won't go away from GPL. It allows big companies such as IBM, HP, oracle... to share code and inovations and work together to create a high quality OS for their hardware or software. Moreover, it's open source, so anybody can fix that code. The only restriction in GPL'ed code is that if you modify it, you must make the modifications available. It's much more expensive for fortinet to make an entire OS for their hardware than to modify the linux kernel according to their needs and distribute the modifications..
