I suggest you talk to a lawyer and review the general comments about binary modules with him (http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/COPYING.modules for example). You are writing an addition to linux from scratch, and it is generally not considered OK to do that in binary form (I certainly do not consider it OK).
So what about companies like ImageStream who write proprietary Linux network drivers for their hardware from scratch with no previous ports from another OS?
Obviously he doesn't consider that to be okay, and those companies are taking a risk that someone will take legal action against them.
