I thought that for quite some time too, but the exception text reads: | However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not | include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or | binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) | of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that | component itself accompanies the executable. This is necessary as a safeguard against software hoarding.
