This is an interesting theory.  Drivers' licenses are obviously
irrelevant to a discussion of whether ndiswrapper is freely licensed.
The FSF's usual position[1] is that the GPL does not require GPL

Are you saying that the FSF is incorrect about the GPL, or are you
making some other claim about what behavior is permitted?
