Apple Safari browser is based on a GPL software. That's also acceptable.

Linux-developed audio software should benefit any project or product,
either gratis or commercial, as long as it's source code is released and
protected in order to stay free. The GNU/Linux community now invests a
lot of money, because it believes in a business model based on free
software and open standards. There's no dilemna. It all make sense.
