+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:
+
+Greetings, Randall!  Comments below:

+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!

+The NVIDIA Software Licence is as follows.
+
+From http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=nv_swlicense and extracted from the
+installer:
+
+
+           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.  GRANT OF LICENSE
+
+2.1  Rights and Limitations of Grant.  NVIDIA hereby grants Customer
+the following non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the
+SOFTWARE, with the following limitations:
+
+2.1.1  Rights.  Customer may install and use one copy of the SOFTWARE
+on a single computer, and except for making one back-up copy of
+the Software, may not otherwise copy the SOFTWARE.  This LICENSE
+of SOFTWARE may not be shared or used concurrently on different
+computers.
+
+2.1.2  Linux Exception.  Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of
+Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux
+operating system 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.
+
+4.  COPYRIGHT
+
+All title and copyrights in and to the SOFTWARE (including but
+not limited to all images, photographs, animations, video, audio,
+music, text, and other information incorporated into the SOFTWARE),
+the accompanying printed materials, and any copies of the SOFTWARE,
+are owned by NVIDIA, or its suppliers.  The SOFTWARE is protected
+by copyright laws and international treaty provisions.  Accordingly,
+Customer is required to treat the SOFTWARE like any other copyrighted
+material, except as otherwise allowed pursuant to this LICENSE
+and that it may make one copy of the SOFTWARE solely for backup or
+archive purposes.
+
+5.  APPLICABLE LAW
+
+This agreement shall be deemed to have been made in, and shall be
+construed pursuant to, the laws of the State of California.
+
+6.  DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION ON LIABILITY
+
+6.1  No Warranties.  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
+LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND NVIDIA AND ITS SUPPLIERS
+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.
+
+7.  MISCELLANEOUS
+
+The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
+Sale of Goods is specifically disclaimed.  If any provision of this
+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.
