That isn't true--I am sad to see that the kernel developers are distributing this inaccurate statement. See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html. > It is distributed under the GNU General Public License - see the > accompanying COPYING file for more details. The kernel is released under the GNU GPL, but the whole system--the Unix clone--is not. It includes components such as X11, GNU libc, Apache, TeX, etc., which have other licenses. The kernel developers ought to know this. How did they manage to overlook it? It appears that they were fooled by their own confusing practice of calling the whole system "Linux." Fooled, as millions of others have been fooled. How ironic! Could Debian correct these release notes to prevent them from confusing anyone else in the same way? Rob, could you ask? Meanwhile, the problem did not happen for me, but it probably depends on the screen height. What was that?
