Again. such a binary blob cannot be the Linux kernel with some
patches, thanks to the fact that Linux is under GPLv2, so any modified
version of it has to be released with the same license, which implies
that any user should be able to use, distribute, modify and
redistribute the software she receives under that license.

This is something for which we should definitely thank RMS and (a
probably not so freedom-conscious) Linus Torvalds :)
