Technically you could include the vendor's files and just script the build,  
but 
I wouldn't even bother with that until you get a complaint from Linus.  I think 
the spirit of this project could not be compared directly to nVidia and ATI 
distributing linked code themselves.  Of course we cannot tell, but it would 
not 
surprise me if the notice was composed by someone who doesn't have the 
authority 
or right to pursue the issue.

If someone were to sell FGLive discs then trouble might arrive.  Licenses are 
fine,  but copyright law is really about money and demonstrating a quantifiable 
financial loss is key to any claim.

Best,

Jim
