@strypey >the Linux kernel
This reinforces the confusion that Linux is more than a kernel.

Please write; "the kernel, Linux", "Linux, the kernel" or just "Linux" to mean Linux.


It is impossible to simultaneously comply with the requirements of the GPLv2-only and the bundled proprietary software, thus you are obliged to not distribute the proprietary version of Linux, otherwise you immediately and permanently lose your license.

Of course GNU Linux-libre can be distributed under the terms of the GPLv2-only.
