David Wheeler's counts for Red Hat 7 showed around 65% as having GPL or LGPL licences. Not that this is all GNU code either - since the kernel, web browser, X, KDE are not GNU. For embedded systems using BusyBox, even binutils may not be present - I would expect glibc to be the only significant sized GNU code, and that's 1/4 the size of the kernel.

Busy busy busybox Posted Oct 5, 2006 9:36 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] I'd expect embedded systems to be using uClibc, actually.
There's not much FSF-owned code on such systems (which makes the screaming from embedded devs even more peculiar).
