>When did GPLv2 turn "proprietary"?
Linux was proprietary software in 1991, but was released under the GPLv2-ambigious in 1996.
It only took until 1996 before the first proprietary program was added to Linux and Linux became proprietary software again.
One of many examples of proprietary software added to Linux is this; https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/powerpc/platforms/8xx/micropatch.c (the binary form is array encoded and there is no source code).
When it comes to the license of Linux, generally it is only enforced *against* freedom, rather than in support of it.
