well, I don't own copyright on the related kernel or software. That's
why I contacted the FSF. In the meantime, I checked the filesystem for
other GPLed software. Fortunately, TomTom made the work for me already
and added a list of GPLed software in /etc/NOTICE.html.gz:

/system/lib/libexifgnu.a (LGPL)
/system/lib/libusb-compat.so (GPL)
/system/lib/libusb.so (GPL)
/kernel (v2.6.32, omap3, GPL v2)

/system/bin/dbus-daemon and
/system/lib/libdbus.so (Academic Free License v2.1 and v2, GPL v2)

/system/bin/ip
/system/bin/rtmon
/system/bin/tc
/system/lib/libiprouteutil.so
/system/lib/libnetlink.so  (GPL v2)

/system/bin/iptables
/system/lib/libext4.a
/system/lib/libip4tc.a
/system/lib/libxtables.a (GPL v2)

/system/bin/gsm0710muxd (GPL v2)

/system/lib/libwpa_client.so (GPL v2)

/system/lib/libasound.so (LGPL v2.1)

/system/lib/bluetoothd
/system/lib/libbluetoothd.so
/system/lib/libbluetooth.so
/system/lib/libbluez-common-static.a (LGPL v2.1)

/system/lib/libwebcore.a
/system/lib/libwebcore.so (BSD, GPL v2, LGPL v2.1)

/system/bin/e2fsck
/system/bin/mke2fs
/system/lib/libext2_profile.so (GPL v2)

/busybox (GPL v2)

/system/bin/mkdosfs (GPL v2)

/system/lib/libfdt.a (GPL v2)

/system/lib/libdevmapper.so

which also includes busybox and netfilter stuff.
