I know others have already said it, but:
This is legally nonsense.  The only way I can revoke someone's rights to
 my code under the GPL is if they violate the terms of the GPL.  If I
 were to do so otherwise, then _I_ would be in violation for having
 distributed derived works of the kernel without a GPL, not to mention
 the obvious reliance/estoppel problems.

Moreover, even if I _could_ revoke the license, I wouldn't want to do
 so; it would be ridiculously petty in itself and the precedent it would
 set would be destructive to the entire open-source community, about
 which I care deeply.  It is _because_ Linux and other open-source
 projects are so important to humanity that I spoke up about what I
 perceive as a threat to it.

In short, "unconditionedwitness", please shut up.  You're not helping.
