He only owns a small amount of the code. Furthermore he imported third party GPL code using the license as sole permission. So he may have dug a personal hole but many of the rest of us have been repeatedly saying whenever he said that - that we do not agree. The FSF has always said binary modules are wrong and there is FSF code imported into the kernel by Linus on license only grounds. Whether it is a good idea is a different question.
