It's my impression that android installs typically have Busybox userlands. Busybox might not be a GNU project (although it's licensed under the GPL), but in that respect it's no different than shittons of other linux devices. Most consumer grade routers, most likely your dvr/[cable/satelite] settop box, other UI centric consumer devices like the kindle (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200203720 http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=2...) all use Linux kernels with Busybox userlands and (often) proprietary frontends. Android devices are no less "Linux" than any of these things. Lack of X11 and traditional X desktop environments are particularly beside the point.
