This doesn't negate any problems with people making Blob drivers, because, as you pointed out, under the same laws they aren't a derivative work, which means that that clause of the license doesn't apply. Now if the GPL contained a clause specifically defining what it considered a derivative work things would be different.
incorrect, the GPL (or any other license) cannot define what is a derived work, the law does that. they could have a clause in them that said that something that is a derived work under the law is not considered a derived work by the author (implicitly giving unrestricted permission to that something), but you cannot define something that the law doesn't consider a derived work to be one in the license.
