I think that comment refers to the iOS kernel uploading a copy of the linux kernel to the broadcom wifi controller during boot. I'm sure a lot of devices do that or something similar.

I wonder what issues that creates licensing wise, since that's GPL'd code they have to ship on every device and firmware update. I would guess they published the source for it somewhere, and disclosed it. Just like the GPL2 versions of bash they used to put in macos.
