Because Linux is GPLed.
IAC, GNU HURD (not GNU/HURD) is not as functional as Linux at
present. But it is technically better than Linux. Once it release its
stable version we can use that also. Still there is no ethical problem
in using Linux since it is based on FSF's GPL.
Read http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html#status
It is not ready for production use, as there are still many bugs and
missing features. However, it should be a good base for further
development and non-critical application usage.
