True. So the only thing you can say is that an author who wrote a specific piece *certainly* has standing to complain about violations affecting the piece he wrote.

Either he has standing because he wrote that specific part, or he has standing because he holds joint copyright on the kernel as a whole.

This particular muddling is nonsense though. Worse than that, it's like nonsense for several distinct reasons, any ONE of which would be sufficient.
