Wouldn't Greg KH be itching to remove such patches from the kernel? If
they made it in, in the first place.

GPL is a necessary, but not sufficient condition for code to be merged
into the kernel. AFAIK the kernel community has the absolute
discretion to refuse any GPLed code for any reason.

IANAL.
