NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
Also note that the GPL below is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, but the instance of code that it refers to (the Linux
kernel) is copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it.
The Linus quote on the other hand, pertains to binary modules -- ie. binaries that are linked into kernel-space and use non-system-call APIs.
Since user programs are specifically exempt from being GPL'd, I cannot see how you could possibly make the argument that Angry Birds is somehow affected, unless it is being linked in as a kernel module.
What is in these headers? If it is just definitions that are required for making system calls, I would expect that all of this falls under the exception above.
