Subject: Re: Compatibility of Nvidia NVNET driver license with GPL

nVidia's _video_ drivers are mostly proprietary code that is not
specific to Linux. They provide a GPL wrapper or shim that, apparently
in the view of their lawyers, insulates their proprietary code from GPL
license terms.
Perhaps their network software is done the same way?
