The problem is that if the driver is gpl, then said driver would violate
any non-disclosure. If you release source code, then you reveal the
interface. It would be possible to release a driver avaialable for free
download. But you couldn't release the source code and thus not use the
gpl.

The mind is like a parachute; it works much better when open.
If you're too open minded, your brains will fall out.
