Afaik this case isn’t about linked libs. It’s that the Vizio devices ship with Linux but don’t provide sources.

In theory they don’t need to provide sources to any of their libraries that link against Linux as Linux licenses glibc as LGPL.

But they do need to provide the Linux core that they use along with any modifications.

AIUI: This case isn't about kernel modules, but it re-opens the question of what to do about closed-source kernel modules, because the status quo is "Linus doesn't want to sue people even though closed-source kernel modules might be illegal", and now you don't have to be Linus to sue people anymore.
