Which project? Surely you know that ESX 3 uses linux as a kind of bootstrap to load the hypervisor, and the question becomes whether or not the hypervisor now constitutes a derivative work.
I'm not saying this is true, but obviously linux would be the project they'd want to "steal" from if they were going to.
