you are going to find both camps (and everything in between) as well as people who see nothing wrong with proprietary software involved with any open/free software project. The bigger the project, the more variation you will see.

The kernel is GPLv2, so there are not big discussions about it except sometimes at the edge where interfacing with third party software.

There is no concensus, some people are working hard to do so, others love GPLv3
