Yes. Alan Cox (one of the main kernel developers) has written such a
letter. A few other kernel developers have done the same. Christoph
Hellwig (he also holds copyright on quite a few critical parts of
the kernel) has stated: "I'm going to sue them if they use hook
called from code I have copyright on."

Since these letters exist and have been published widely, the only
hope for developers of non-free kernel modules is that Alan Cox
and others don't have enough time/money to sue them.
