This statement is false. Sorry but the law and my legal advice recommend that I jump in and repeat the correction every time people repeat this myth. As one of the major kernel copyright holders I have never given people at large specific rights outside of the GPL to distribute non free derivative works of the kernel in violation of the GPL. Anyone who does binary modules, does so at their peril and on the advice of their lawyers as to whether what they are doing is permissible in local law.
