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.
