What kind of code is that?
You wrote 'driver', you mean a kernel driver? If yes, then it has nothing to 
do with OpenPBX. Loading binary-only driver into the kernel is done often.

Or is it some extension to OpenPBX itself? If yes, then it cannot be part of 
the sources, because the must be GPL too then. But if you create a loadable
module for OpenPBX (as binary-only .so file), it should be no problem.
