There are specific reasons to do so around estoppel and willful infringement. It's not a case of objections anyway - if the _GPL matters then it's a licensing change so you need the approval of everyone whose code is involved. At that point I think Nvidia are starting in the wrong place and need to start with a collection of vendors corporate legal contacts and then work down the call tree involved.
