And how do you build kernel modules without including the kernel headers?  Do
a favour for yourself, buy a book about C programming and learn some basics or
just stop talking about stuff you don't understand.  If you do neither of what
I suggested here I will stop discussing this topic with you now because I have
given up that you will ever get it.

I am not sure about that.  I'd recommend you ask a lawyer for that question.

1. mirrors.kernel.org is not "the kernel developers".

2. You still failed to show which package in
   .../debian/pool/non-free/n/nvidia-graphics-modules-i386/ does include the
   nVidia kernel binary module.

3. I already tried you to explain to you that you cannot argue that something
   is legal just because others do it but it seems you just don't get that.
