That's a tiny subset of the real problem of the GPL.  Consider that it 
also prevents you from having zfs in the Linux kernel, zfs being neither 
proprietary nor distributed only in binary.  And that's just the obvious 
thing you might know about and want today.  The number of possible 
combinations of things it prevents from being distributed are actually 
astronomical.
