The binary kernel in the ISO seems to certainly be a derivative work of Linux, but only the copyright owners whose code is included in that binary kernel would have standing to sue about this. That means parties like Linus Torvalds, Intel, LSI, and many other companies and individuals. And clearly so far those copyright holders haven't seen fit to sue about it.
It seems fair to anticipate no law suits since as far as I'm aware kernel developers have never filed a law suit against companies committing really blatant infringement. Most of the action there seemed to come from the BusyBox project.
