Not at all. The Linux kernel is released with a modified, less
restrictive GPL (see the COPYING file) except that parts of it
(include/linux/quota.h, include/net/slhc_vj.h, drivers/net/slhc.c,
drivers/net/bsd_comp.c) are under the BSD license, which has fewer
restrictions still. There are other kinds of free software too--check on
http://wei.larc.nasa.gov/doc/copyright/ for some examples.
