That's a mis-interpretation. RTEMS is "GPLv2+ + exceptions".

The section from the RTEMS license cited below is incompatible to the original
GPLv2 and therefore renders inclusion of original GPLv2+ works into RTEMS
impossible:

"As a special exception, including RTEMS header files in a file, instantiating
RTEMS generics or templates, or linking other files with RTEMS objects to
produce an executable application, does not by itself cause the resulting
executable application to be covered by the GNU General Public License. This
exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why the executable file
might be covered by the GNU Public License."
