No GPL'd code is used for the Linux ABI support. Have a look at the code
under src/sys/compat/linux/. And look at the linux(4) manpage.
Nevertheless, you will probably use glibc and other programs built for
Linux that are GPL'd ...
I think you will find many answers to your other questions in this lists
(or the chat list) archives. I don't recall any discussion hear about
Novell/Microsoft deal though.
