That does not really make sense, as the driver model code could be used
for ndiswrapper, for example.  That would not make the Windows net
drivers derived code of the Linux kernel.  ndiswrapper, yes it would be.
Binary driver blobs, no.

The Windows net drivers are not (we believe) compiled using GPL'd
header files and their included macros, asm code, etc..

Probably all Linux binary drivers *are* compiled using GPL'd header files,
and thus are themselves subject to the GPL.
