It fills me with joy that grsecurity has reportedly started to sue people who make incorrect statements of them violating the GPL.

That's fair; I'm going by FSF's interpretation here. Not sure if the plug-in case has ever been tested in court.
Still, the fact that we're here, and we're here due to a convoluted licensing hack by grsec, and it puts upstream Linux in jeopardy, is sad.

I don't understand what you are saying: you mean upstream took code from grsec and therefore added code under incompatible license
-
Yes. Worse, the way the plug-ins interact with libgcc licensing, this also makes kernel *binaries*, in certain cases, non-redistributable.

But isn't that upstream's fault?

It's both grsec's fault for starting the mess (and falsely claiming compliance) and upstream's fault for not caring.
