Umm, any commercial company can come along and re-implement any part of
the Linux kernel, produce a distribution or supply kernel binary images
as long as they make available the source code to the people they
supply the kernel binary to, and no more.

People do this already with the kernel.  You're not really preventing
this, and neither does the GPL prevent it.
