All sources of power require some amount of mined materials, even if its just in construction. Nuclear waste is much less problematic than CO2 emissions, and nuclear power has the advantage of providing a consistent base load.

It doesn't seem likely that would be allowed, as it would arguably constitute a restriction on distribution, which the GPL explicitly forbids.
Unlikely; a quicker victory against Russia would be more damaging politically to Putin, and a "weaker" Russia isn't necessarily a less dangerous Russia, as nukes don't need a lot of manpower to operate.
This is something for the courts to resolve, but it seems to me that there's a good argument to say that threats of future punishment (explicit or implied) would constitute a "further restriction" under the GPL.
The water source is used only for cooling; the heated steam is condensed and fed back into the reactor in a closed loop. While cooling is more difficult in space than on Earth, it's not impossible.
The problem is that the GPL states:
Red Hat are arguing that they are free to punish customers from exercising their rights under the GPL, and that punishment does not constitute a "restriction", even though its done specifically to discourage people from exercising those rights. Whether Red Hat have found a loophole is something for the courts to decide, but it's clearly against the intention and spirit of the GPL.
