I think they've made a simple commercial decision that they'd rather 
Linux was hosted on their virtual machine than someone else's. Or, more 
to the point that someone with 500 Windows virtual machine isn't exposed 
to a different, possibly better VM for a couple of Linux instances. It's 
still about lock-in.

I've seen a suggestion on the tubes that they were being challenged for 
having illegally used GPLed code in the code they are releasing under 
the GPL too.
