Just to follow up after giving a little more thought...
The kernel module doesn't taint it since I'm recompiling it from source.
the NVdriver.o module (although it doesn't specifically have a
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL")) also doesn't have any conflicting or proprietary
license. Now my understanding might be wrong, but it SHOULDN'T be
tainting the kernel. Only the X driver (nvidia_drv.o) is closed source.
Perhaps you have something else tainting it?
