Oh please, isn't a bit silly to play the dmca card here? We're past moralizing about whether it's a crime to have proper hardware-accelerated OpenGL. Clearly, the nvidia driver is not a dervative work of the linux kernel, otherwise how does it run so well on windoze, freebsd and solaris? The real need here is for proper driver support for opensuse users, not finger pointing and arguing with video card vendors, and their customers.
