This is what is said in that repository:

===
The driver RPMs hosted in this location are entirely built, maintained and 
supported by Novell/SUSE.  
NVIDIA hosts them as a courtesy to Novell, however all problems and support 
requests related to 
these RPMs should be reported to Novell via their bug tracking system
===

I hardly can say that it is Nvidia who distributes them after reading this 
notice.

Also I wonder why an Independent Hardware (or Software) Vendor (such as 
Bumblebee Project)
cannot distribute them via OBS.
