Thanks for clarification. Sadly I'm not an expert in copyright law and post of "jnky" about GPL_ONLY probably explain better what I attempted to say.
What I wanted to say is that GPL_ONLY exist and does what it's intend to do: make it clear to driver maintainers (Nvidia as GPU vendor) that certain functionality shouldn't be used within proprietary code.
Of course this isn't actual legal limitation, but Nvidia also want to have open source drivers for Tegra and certainly don't want to get a finger on their next pull request.
