As the others said, it's not that it's necessarily factually untrue, it's just a cop out. If the company cares about open-source, they can neogiate with suppliers directly and refuse to use components with incompatible licensing agreements. The party line statement is structured to make nVidia appear helpless and as if the burden is upon the open-source advocate to get the component vendors to allow their code to go open, but this is not correct. If nVidia cared about open-source, they'd use their clout to make sure they got what they wanted.
