It is not a phyrric victory for Linux itself, since this is exactly the one victory they wanted to achieve, evidenced by e.g. the reluctance to accept GPLv3.

Sure, if the only thing that matters is the Linux kernel.

That is exactly what I said. Notice the rest of the desktop components do not share this allergy to gplv3 linux itself has.

This is not entirely true; as I argue on another thread, ChromeOS is much closer to desktop Linux than Android is. Anyway, this is orthogonal to the above point.
