I *may* be wrong, but in this case you're not violating any license because you OWN the hardware, and the software that comes with it.
You may OWN the hardware, but you don't really OWN the software. See the licence text that comes with it. If you'd own the software you could give out your own licenses for it.
The issue about close vs GPL, is already solved, the same way as NVIDIA drivers.
SuSE doesn't include these neither, or what? Regards, Ulrich
