/usr/src/sys/gnu.  It's there now.

From the GPL:

  If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
  Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate
  works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply
  to those sections when you distribute them as separate works.
