If u distribute any gpld software, u cannot place any restrictions except those that are already placed by the original software. Even if u r DARPA. In short if u distribute linux then it can be used for any purpose including commercial. And embedded linux was available since 1998. Maybe DARPA woke up from their catatonic slumber recently.
http://www.uclinux.org/ "The first port of Linux to systems without a MMU was done during the last week of January, 1998 by Kenneth Albanowski and D. Jeff Dionne. As with all ports of Linux, this is free software under the GNU Public License. The first public target for this MMU-less port of Linux was demonstrated on a Palm PDA."
