No I think they just want to have to write a pointless hack lie in
their kernel module.
There is no nice way for nvidia developers to say our lawyers don't
think this is a license issues without doing
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL\0 OH NOT WE DIDNT OUR LAWYESR ARE OKAY");
I don't think I'd be going quite into how illegal it is.
The thing is I can't base a useful userspace interface on this, and
since the nvidia driver exists everwhere despite what we'd wish, I'd
rather let the users have some hope of a sane architecture, instead of
nvidia having to replace even more userspace code and kernel code with
their own insane shit.
Dave.
