Since at least 2006 it has been kernel policy to not mainline non GPLv2 compliant patches
"Linus rejects the idea of non GPL kernel modules" December 15, 2006
"After January 1, 2008, the Linux kernel will no longer allow non-GPL modules to be linked in. To be clear, this applies to all kernels released after that date and your existing modules won’t come to a screaming halt. Prime examples of non-GPL modules are the proprietary nVidia and ATI graphics drivers."
