Doesn't the intel graphics sets now provide enough open support for bling?

I think your employer should abide by the licensing conditions on any
3rd party source code with which your employer's services will need to
utilize in order to build a functional service.  If you need to look
at the kernel sourcecode for what you are building then you will need
to abide by the GPL.  If you or your employer are confused by the
licensing terms embodied in the GPL are, I would also suggest your
employer take the time to run the GPL past their legal cousel to make
sure your employer knows exactly what is expected to comply and what
the risks of non-compliance are. As your employer should be doing for
any 3rd party sourcecode which you license for use. If your employer
is to provide the work under the GPL, it is in your employer's best
interest to have informed legal counsel make an informed legal
judgement as to the matter.
