If he was a GPL violator and had been shown so it would be.

However it's alleged GPL violator, and we could have the same argument
about say Nvidia or half a dozen other contributors and companies before
we get to things like the GPLv2 versus DRM question (all the necessary
scripts including the key).

But RH could always sue him, or simply provide an open alternative I
guess (or indeed let secure boot and the RHEL plans for it put him out of
business) ;)
