I thought it's only tainted if there are non-GPL modules compiled in.
For instance, I saw the tainted message whenever I insmod'ed fglrx driver

You're right, I am assuming he was talking about the nvidia modules which are not GPL, when he mentioned 2.6.32.2+Nvidia. So it would only me tainted if he wanted to have graphics. Or the licensing may have changed, things are not the same for long.
