If you don't want your code to fall under the GPL, then don't use GPL code in your programs. The GNU library license does allow you to dynamically link your programs to GNU software, which is why proprietary software is made for Linux. You seem to think that you can't run commercial software on Linux. Oracle and quite a few other vendors seem to disagree. The GPL will only "steal" your IP if you first "steal" GPL IP. That seems to be a fair trade to me.
In fact the GPL won't even "steal" anyone's IP at all. If the person "stealing" the GPL IP doesn't live up to the GPL, then it's a garden variety copyright violation, same as if the person "stole" Sun's or Microsoft's IP.
