Ahem, Kreg KH just announced (at OLS) that Novell considers these ILLEGAL these days and WILL NOT distribute them..
The situation with the nvidia drivers is not quite the same as with say the madwifi drivers. The nvidia drivers use GPLed shim as the actual kernel module, which their non-free driver communicates with thus bypassing the strictly illegal bit. Although they certainly go against the spirit of things.
You should notice that the drivers now no longer come from Novell, but from the vendor sites. So Novells previous risk is shifted to the vendors.
