The OS kernel is a major component of any operating system. Some people even
defend that the kernel is the
OS. So that must count for something.

Well, if they are putting together an operating system and they already stated
that the kernel of their
operating system will be GPLed, then what's missing? If they happen to put up a
non-GPLed window manager does
that mean that their OS ceasses to be based on GPLed code?
