I dont' think Caldera Linux was licensed under GPL as a whole. Sure, it included components under the GPL and took advantage of the permission to distribute the code under the GPL. But I don't think the license for the distribution as a whole, if it existed at all, was GPL.

That's somewhat irrelevent. The code in question (at least, currently) is only in the Linux kernel. I'm sure you'd find (though I haven't checked), that the kernel included in Caldera's distribution did include a copy of the GPL and indicated that it applied to the *kernel* as a whole.
