Agreed - everyone contributed to the kernel based upon the GPLv2. Lots of different reasons, lots of different viewpoints about GPL2 v GPL3, DRM , Treacherous Computing, etc. The commonality is not political, not a grand plan, not a grand unified social agenda but a bunch of people for whom the GPLv2 was an acceptable license for furthering their intentions whether that is education for all, a shared commons or just making a quick buck
