That's probably true. This likely means that almost nothing is upstreamed, so it may as well be proprietary software once it flows through to the manufacturers and us. Copyleft is an incredibly important concept and this is a good illustration of why "restricted" freedom for some can result in greater freedom for end users and developers. Freedom from proprietary software is just as important as the freedom to create it.
