 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").  By downloading, installing, copying,
 or otherwise using the SOFTWARE, you agree to be bound by the terms
 of this LICENSE.  If you do not agree to the terms of this LICENSE,
 do not download the SOFTWARE.

 RECITALS
 .
 Use of NVIDIA's products requires three elements: the SOFTWARE, the
 hardware on a graphics controller board, and a personal computer. The
 SOFTWARE is protected by copyright laws and international copyright
 treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties.
 The SOFTWARE is not sold, and instead is only licensed for use,
 strictly in accordance with this document.  The hardware is protected
 by various patents, and is sold, but this agreement does not cover
 that sale, since it may not necessarily be sold as a package with
 the SOFTWARE.  This agreement sets forth the terms and conditions
 of the SOFTWARE LICENSE only.
 .
 1.  DEFINITIONS
 .
 1.1  Customer.  Customer means the entity or individual that
 downloads the SOFTWARE.

 2.1.1  Rights.  Customer may install and use multiple copies of the
 SOFTWARE on a shared computer or concurrently on different computers,
 and make multiple back-up copies of the SOFTWARE, solely for Customer's
 use within Customer's Enterprise. "Enterprise" shall mean individual use
 by Customer or any legal entity (such as a corporation or university)
 and the subsidiaries it owns by more than fifty percent (50%).
 .
 2.1.2  Linux/FreeBSD Exception.  Notwithstanding the foregoing terms
 of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux or
 FreeBSD operating systems, or other operating systems derived from the
 source code to these operating systems, may be copied and redistributed,
 provided that the binary files thereof are not modified in any way
 (except for unzipping of compressed files).
 .
 2.1.3  Limitations.
 .
 No Reverse Engineering.  Customer may not reverse engineer,
 decompile, or disassemble the SOFTWARE, nor attempt in any other
 manner to obtain the source code.
 .
 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.
 .
 No Rental.  Customer may not rent or lease the SOFTWARE to someone
 else.
 .
 3.  TERMINATION
 .
 This LICENSE will automatically terminate if Customer fails to
 comply with any of the terms and conditions hereof.  In such event,
 Customer must destroy all copies of the SOFTWARE and all of its
 component parts.
 .
 Defensive Suspension.  If Customer commences or participates in any legal
 proceeding against NVIDIA, then NVIDIA may, in its sole discretion,
 suspend or terminate all license grants and any other rights provided
 under this LICENSE during the pendency of such legal proceedings.
 .
 4.  COPYRIGHT
 .
 All title and copyrights in and to the SOFTWARE (including but
 not limited to all images, photographs, animations, video, audio,

 DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
 NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
 FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
 .
 6.2  No Liability for Consequential Damages.  TO THE MAXIMUM
 EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL NVIDIA OR
 ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR
 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
 DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS
 OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT
 OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF NVIDIA HAS
 BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
 .
 6.3  Specific Use.  SOFTWARE is licensed only for use with NVIDIA products.
 Customer's use of NVIDIA products with any other firmware is at its own

 .
 The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International

 LICENSE is inconsistent with, or cannot be fully enforced under,
 the law, such provision will be construed as limited to the extent
 necessary to be consistent with and fully enforceable under the law.
 This agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement between
 the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes
 all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements relating
 to such subject matter, whether oral or written.  Customer agrees
 that it will not ship, transfer or export the SOFTWARE into any
 country, or use the SOFTWARE in any manner, prohibited by the
 United States Bureau of Export Administration or any export laws,
 restrictions or regulations.  This LICENSE may only be modified in
 writing signed by an authorized officer of NVIDIA.
Comment:
 First a note from the README file
 .
 Q: Why does NVIDIA not provide rpms anymore?
 .
 A: Not every Linux distribution uses rpm, and NVIDIA wanted a single
    solution that would work across all Linux distributions.  As indicated
    in the NVIDIA Software License, Linux distributions are welcome to
    repackage and redistribute the NVIDIA Linux driver in whatever package
    format they wish.
 .
 Furthermore, an email from NVIDIA:

 This is fine; thanks for asking.

 This is also fine.  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!
