If you take a look at 
http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/ols_2006_keynote.html, what he stated was 
Novell's offical position on this topic, which still is:

"Most developers of the kernel community consider non-GPL kernel modules 
to be infringing on their copyright. Novell _does respect this position_, 
and _will no longer distribute non-GPL kernel modules_ as part of future 
products."

He didn't say that we consinder anything "illegal".

And what Marcus was suggesting was to leverage _ATI or NVIDIA provided_ 
drivers.
