The terms of the GNU license make it illegal.  Or has the source code for the cuda code been made freely available?

What terms of the GNU License make it illegal? the link I just gave you above also has a GNU Library General Public License (LGPL), and does what I intend to do. That is, provide a wrapper (in that case for c#, in mine for octave), so that the cuda api can be used. Couldnt it be considered the cuda API as a system library under section 7?
