Q: Why release the code?Either they don't understand GPLv2, or they are going to distribute Linux!

they are distributing drivers for linux. those drivers are derivitives of the kernel, so to release those drivers they need to do so under GPLv2
nothing says they need to distribute the entire kernel.
