I believe this section of the license was +intended to prevent users from doing things like using our Windows +control panel with a competitor's display driver (that's not actually +possible, but you get the idea...). In the case of separating the +driver into a glx package and a kernel package (like we used to +do ourselves), this is simply a packaging issue; of course users +will use the packages together when they install. + +Please feel free to redistribute the NVIDIA graphics driver. + +Thank you for doing this for the NVIDIA+Debian community! + +- Andy + + + +The NVIDIA Software Licence is as follows. + +From http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=nv_swlicense and extracted from the +installer: + + + License For Customer Use of NVIDIA Software + + +IMPORTANT NOTICE -- READ CAREFULLY: This License For Customer Use of +NVIDIA Software ("LICENSE") is the agreement which governs use of +the software of NVIDIA Corporation and its subsidiaries ("NVIDIA") +downloadable herefrom, including computer software and associated +printed materials ("SOFTWARE").
