That's an amazingly poorly researched article. The post from Bradley Kuhn that the news story links to mentions a lack of GPL violations by Google, but then specifically points to "the wide-spread GPL violations related to Android/Linux that Matthew Garrett has been finding." (http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/android_tablets/). The article ignores that part and pervasively treats GPL violations in Android as "unproven".
