Kernel Version: 4.1.15-00838-g349fbf5767c
It's ONLY the Kernel Version.
A monolithic install of the entire system to ROM or Flash is called Firmware and will include applications.
Software more usually refers to components separately added or swappable by a user that's not part of the OS (Operating System). The Kernel is only the foundational core of the OS.
