I do not know if that is a "valid perspective" or not, but I think that the categorical statement ("necessary consequence") contained in it is false. The license used for the Linux kernel certainly does not cast the widest possible net but I do not see significant fragmentation, quite the contrary. There is essentially one and the same kernel used by (almost) all Linux distributions (with rather small modifications). (Generally: When a net is to wide it can get teared up.)
