You can compile the kernel but you can't run it on the system. That is the threat GPL3 is trying to counteract.
By creating "valid" kernels, by definition "not valid kernels" cannot run.

I don't know enough about the licensing of this, or how it will work to
be able to comment about the legality of this approach. All that I'm
talking about is the technical application. I would assume that Fedora
has a sufficently competent legal team as to be able to advise upon the
feasability of this solution and I look forwards to reading their
analysis later.
If you wouldn't mind explaining *exactly* how this would be "non-free",
and why this would exclude this approach, I would be most interested.
