Don’t make a noncompliant binary release. Tell your users how to make a
noncompliant build on their own knowing the risks.
Third parties like NVIDIA can make their own decision and release, but can’t
call it Apache MxNext, but have to use “powered by” if they use the brand.
If NVIDIA changes the license then it must be very soon. If so then the issue
is gone.
