The kernel, Linux is indeed proprietary software - yes, despite being the poster child of "open source", it isn't even completely (or even 50%) source-available!
Part of the Linux project is a massive collection of proprietary software derivative works that denies the users freedom known as "linux-firmware" (there are also a handful of free programs, with source code, under GPLv2-compatible terms).
If you want freedom, you need to use GNU Linux-libre; https://gnu.org/software/linux-libre
