I'm still confused on this issue.

It's my understanding from the discussions I've had with Chris Smart and
others that the NVIDIA drivers use a GPL compatible shim to interface
between the actual kernel and the binary blob. And that the
communications between the shim and the blob are done using system calls
rather than included code. This would seem to get round the GPL
requirement.

That hasn't been addressed in the email Chris received it would seem.
