Copyleft doesn’t mean it’s not copyrighted. Copyleft is not a legal term. “Copyleft” licenses are _enforced_ through copyright ownership.
Did you read the quotes from the copyright office I linked to? I am going to go ahead and trust the copyright office over you on issues of copyrightability.

Even if this were true, it would only mean that the GNU license is *unenforceable*, not that the Linux kernel itself is infringing copyright
