That one seems to be a well-conceived (yet premature) April's fool,
but in any case nobody can put the Linux kernel under a non-copyletf
license, and distribute it :) Actually, nobody can put the Linux
kernel exclusively under a license a single bit more restrictive that
the GPLv2 in terms of the rights granted to the recipient, and this is
just due to the fact that the Linux kernel *is* under GPLv2 ;)

Anyway, this little (disgusting) joke is revealing that some users
that are currently "tolerating" the systemd-nonsense would be quite
upset if the systemd-nonsense guys would decide to take the Linux
kernel aboard (something that I personally think they don't have
neither the experience nor the skills to do, but still...).

I personally find hilarious that most of the people out there are
still convinced that the systemd-nonsense is just a replacement for
sysv-init, while it should be clear by now that it is already becoming
a pervasive cancer...
