There may be a misunderstanding.

GnuPG is a package that is a part of the GNU operating system.  The list
of all such packages can be found here:

  https://www.gnu.org/software/

GNU is usually used with the kernel Linux.  GNU doesn't require that
packages support any other kernel (e.g. Hurd).  But the operating system
is GNU.  GnuPG works on other operating systems, but GNU only requires
that it work best on GNU, or at least as well as other operating
systems.

The GPL is unrelated to this discussion.
