It's not the scheduler that's a derivative, it's the new Linux kernel

Linux - schedulerA + schedulerB => derivative of Linux.
But the new scheduler itself is not entangled with the copyright
of Linux. And the combined work of Linux + new scheduler is a
derivative of Linux only if the changes to use the new scheduler
involved enough modifications to Linux to consider them a significant
work of authorship.
