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.
