You aren't. Pardon for my broken English. Open source drivers don't violate any license. A combination of open source licensed software and proprietary drivers sometimes does offend each others license, but not always. There are open source drivers. You should search the web, if the card you wish to use is supported. The open source drivers don't support or have a limited support of 3D acceleration, but usually all resolutions do work. If a card isn't supported, than usually the open source vesa driver does work without 3D acceleration and only with a limited resolution, take a look at (extended) vesa standards.
