The GPL2 is a distribution license, not a EULA. What you can do with the source is not regulated at all, unless you distribute the result. So could you please tell us what part of the copyright a user infringes upon by inserting a module?
Now, giving away a running laptop with the KVM may well be infingment, but it seems like a marginal case...
