Aah.  I somehow got the idea you were talking about GPLv3 doing
something about it.

If Linux developers had gone down that path, they'd have created
inconvenience for people who make uses that are permitted by copyright
law, such as those who load their own private modules, never
distributed, and therefore never licensed, and a few other situations
involving works that are allegedly not derived works.
