Isn't that exactly what has already happened? Nvidia has released a fully open-source kernel side driver for their current hardware, probably because of pressure from the hyperscalers that don't want to run closed-source code in their kernels. The new driver still needs to be integrated into the upstream kernel so this news is still about the current legally dubious one.
