Linux kernel hardeners Grsecurity sue open source's Bruce Perens

By my understanding of the GPLv2 Grsecurity is completely without a legal leg to stand on here. They're illegally tacking conditions onto existing code which MUST be licensed under the GPL (as all Linux kernel patches must be thanks to the copyleft nature of the GPL). In short, either GPLv2 is valid or Grsecurity will lose.
