Thats because nVidia does not provide the source for their binary driver.
The nVidia driver is a non-free binary driver were others are not allowed
to look at the source. Loading that driver will taint your kernel.

If you wan't a free driver with source the non-accelerated nv driver or
the not so stable, not so fast nouveau drivers are your only choices.
