The trouble of integrating of or integrating into 3rd party software is inevitable attribute of any closed source (proprietary) license.
I don't see it as a problem of GPL. The license just does what it was designed to do - to protect freedom. It prevents the hostile takeover.
And anyone claiming how "BSD would be better" have definitely zero clue. MacOSX is a living proof of your stupidity.
Had Linux been BSD licensed, Nvidia would have forked, mixed it into own drivers and release it as Nvidia OS, under proprietary license.
Nvidia does do very good drivers. But current situation is just their own fault in choosing wrong (proprietary) license.
