I'm not sure what business GP is in, but being encouraged not to be unethical and explicitly forbidding illegal activity doesn't seem like much of an infringement on one's freedom more than the applicable laws. I guess being arrested for crimes is one thing, but having a license revoked on top of that is just one step too far?
Google famously removed "don't be evil" because lawyers pushed back on who gets to define evil. I can imagine same logic applies here: Nvidia isn't about to define objective morality, so the best alternative is to ask people to try their best.

Which, in terms of a contract, means absolutely nothing at all.
