The part above is my gut feeling, not the work of -legal. However, I feel that it is the only sane interpretation. If you write a free library that is not yet used by any programs, it is free. If the first program using your library is non-free, is your library suddenly non-free? That would be nonsense. However, this is only my opinion, and I am sure that the good people on -legal will happily tell me if they think I'm wrong. Since there are free drivers, however, the whole discussion is moot.
