This whole article is a blatant troll.

The Linux kernel has always been under the GPLv2-- check COPYING at the root of the tree. After another two years, there will have been another two years' worth of contributions to the Linux kernel by various people, explicitly tagged as "GPLv2 only," because that's what Linus is now requiring.

Whatever your opinions are about the GPLv3 or any other license, it's irrelevant. The Linux kernel is under the GPLv2.
