Yes, it’s part of the EULA for the driver.

I guess it's time to invent a blockchain that trains ML models as PoW :)

As a sidenote, I have rented servers with GeForce cards from multiple providers in multiple countries, so this rule doesn't seem to be respected very much. And since it's part of the driver EULA, nvidia can't legally go after server providers, since they don't install any drivers, just build and rent out the hardware. For all they know, all their customers are running noveau.
