  6 non-free packages, 0.5% of 1333 installed packages.
  1 contrib packages, 0.1% of 1333 installed packages.

The copyright notice of nvidia-*-modaliases
(/usr/share/doc/nvidia-*-modaliases/copyright) = non-free

And it also says:

"No Separation of Components.  The SOFTWARE is licensed as a
single product.  Its component parts may not be separated for use
on more than one computer, nor otherwise used separately from the
other parts."

And these modaliases are in fact separated from the binary driver which
itself is not installed (Free Software only installation). Doesn't that
violate the licence?

** Affects: ubuntu
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
