I'm pretty sure packages exist for Ubuntu, although they might be 3rd party. I'm absolutely sure FC have them via the 3rd party ilvna repo: http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/6/i386/ The idea of Packman hosting the packages was presented before. I believe their hesitation was not so much fear of GPL violation. More a matter of (1) redistribution rights for Nvidia/ATi and (2) building the packages in the first place, iirc. I think the redistribution rights issue was cleared up, not sure about the building issue.
