It does matter. If you look closely, there are two licenses in the file
kern/slab.c. You picked up the original one, not the one covering the
GNU Mach fork. Currently, you're required to assign copyright of your
contributions to the FSF.

The slab allocator did not originate from GNU Mach and its history is a
bit messy. It is really not a good template for contributions.
