I don't think this one is so clear, because, not knowing what was in
this particular licensor's head, it isn't clear what "the same gnu
general public license that covers the linux kernel" means even if one
assumes the Linux kernel is covered specifically by GPLv2 only. I
might be inclined to say GPL-2.0-only as the safest conclusion, but
might be worth further thought.
