I don't know the exact case nor I'm license specialist but I think it's
doable without license violation. Take a look at official displaylink
drivers[1]... They consist of two parts. First one is Kernel GPL code[2]
which is obviously published to not violate the license and second part is
userspace binary blob that receives video stream from this "open source
driver" and then uses libusb to communicate with the device...

Best regards,
Krzysztof , I will check the proxy git .
What's the difference between the proxy you've given before to the DisplayLink?
Displaylink driver is unrelated to the proxy. It's just an example of
how to not violate GPL license and not publish your USB protocol and
provide only binary blob with it;)
