Only if you include paragraph 9 in the license you release your software under. From what I understand, this is what Linus has done with his contributions to the kernel. Other contributors may or may not have done the same, leading to a very interesting situation where parts of the kernel may be licensable under GPLv3 and other parts may not be.
