  1. they'll have to opensource the code if they use linux kernel

Only changes they would make to the kernel. There is no obligation to make an OS utilizing the linux kernel open source.

An oversight by the developers. Had they licensed it under the GNU GPL v3, such a thing would not be possible.

No, the GPLv3 changes nothing in this regard.
