Section 1 of the EULA states:
"Certain Third Party Software (including without limitation Netscape, RealPlayer and Third Party Software distributed under the Gnu General Public License) is licensed to you under the terms of the applicable Third Party Software End User License accompanying such software (the "Excluded Third Party Software"), and, except with respect to Sections 5 ("Disclaimer") and 7 ("Limitations"), the terms of this Agreement do not apply to such Excluded Third Party Software."
Since Linux falls under the GPL reverse engineering it should not be a problem. The bit about not reverse engineering blah blah blah is standard stuff. I had identical (or nearly so) language written into the EULA of software we released almost 7 years ago...
