You are wrong, they are NOT built on public openSUSE Build Service instance. Files ARE prepared on public OBS but building is done on build.suse.de (which you can check by yourself if you do rpm -qi nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default) Anyway if you wanna play with new package it is already fixed and can be built with osc localy on your machine so doing: osc co X11:Drivers:Video nvidia-gfxG02 cd X11:Drivers:Video/nvidia-gfxG02 osc build nvidia-gfxG02.spec # copy generated rpms to some safe place (kernel part) because they will be deleted with next run osc build x11-video-nvidiaG02.spec # copy again rpms to some place and just install them (or you could use my tool called UDBA which i already mentioned last year when we did not had prepared nvidia packages...)

By the way, Opera is allowed in OBS, why not the drivers? I do not say, to include them in the release by why not to just allow them in OBS?
Closed source kernel drivers are violating the copyrights of kernel hackers AFAIU. => not allowed on OBS until you get all the kernel copyright holders to agree that they are fine with that.
As I know it violates the copyright if it is shipped as parts of one product. If the user installs it does not violate the copyright.
Also there is no difference where to place the drivers - on the nvidia server or in OBS from the copyright point of view (especially given that the packages located on the nvidia server are in fact prepared by openSUSE developers in OBS inside X11:Drivers:Video project)
