 IMPORTANT NOTICE - PLEASE READ AND AGREE BEFORE USING THE SOFTWARE.
 .
 This license agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you, whether
 an individual or entity ("you") and NVIDIA Corporation ("NVIDIA") and governs
 your use of the NVIDIA driver, and any additional software and materials
 provided (the "SOFTWARE").
 .
 If you don't have the required age or authority to enter into this Agreement or
 if you don't accept all the terms below, do not use the SOFTWARE.
 .
 You agree to use the SOFTWARE only for purposes that are permitted by this
 Agreement and any applicable law or regulation in the relevant jurisdictions.
 .
 1. License.
 .
 1.1 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, NVIDIA grants you a non-exclusive,
 revocable, non-transferable and non-sublicensable (except as expressly provided
 in this Agreement) license to:
 .
 a. Install and use copies of the SOFTWARE,
 .
 b. Modify and create derivative works of any portion of the SOFTWARE delivered
 by NVIDIA in source code format,
 .
 c. Deploy, for your own use, the SOFTWARE on infrastructure you own or lease,

 applicable legal and regulatory standards and requirements.
 .
 2.11 You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless NVIDIA and its affiliates,
 and their respective employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors,
 from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities,
 costs or debt, fines, restitutions and expenses (including but not limited to
 attorney's fees and costs incident to establishing the right of indemnification)
 arising out of or related to products or services that have been developed with
 or use the SOFTWARE (including for use in or for Critical Applications), and for
 use of the SOFTWARE outside of the scope of this Agreement or not in compliance
 with its terms.
 .
 3. Authorized Users.
 .

 subsidiary(ies) to access and use the SOFTWARE from your secure network to
 perform the work authorized by this Agreement on your behalf.
 .
 If you are an academic institution, you may allow users enrolled or employed by
 the academic institution to access and use the SOFTWARE as authorized by this
 Agreement from your secure network.
 .
 You are responsible for the compliance with the terms of this Agreement by your
 authorized users. Any act or omission that if committed by you would constitute
 a breach of this Agreement will be deemed to constitute a breach of this
 Agreement if committed by your authorized users.
 .
 4. Pre-Release SOFTWARE.
 .
 The SOFTWARE versions identified as alpha, beta, preview or otherwise as
 pre-release may not be fully functional, may contain errors or design flaws, and

 5. Support and Updates.
 .
 NVIDIA is not obligated to support any SOFTWARE, unless there is a separate
 agreement for this purpose. NVIDIA may, at its option, make available patches,
 workarounds or other updates to the SOFTWARE. Unless the updates are provided
 with their separate governing terms, they are deemed part of the SOFTWARE
 licensed to you as provided in this Agreement.
 .
 6. Components Under Other Licenses.
 .
 The SOFTWARE may include or be distributed with components provided with
 separate legal notices or terms that accompany the components, such as open
 source software licenses and other license terms ("Other Licenses"). The
 components are subject to the applicable Other Licenses, including any
 proprietary notices, disclaimers, requirements and extended use rights; except
 that this Agreement will prevail regarding the use of third-party open source

 sell, import, and offer for sale your products or services that include or
 incorporate any third-party software and content, including, without limitation,
 audio and/or video encoders and decoders and implementations of technical
 standards. NVIDIA does not grant to you under this Agreement any necessary
 patent or other rights, including standard essential patent rights, with respect
 to any third-party software and content.
 .
 7. Termination.
 .
 This Agreement will automatically terminate without notice from NVIDIA if you
 fail to comply with any of the terms in this Agreement or if you commence or
 participate in any legal proceeding against NVIDIA with respect to the
 SOFTWARE. Upon any termination, you must stop using and destroy all copies of
 the SOFTWARE. You can terminate this Agreement whenever you want by stopping use
 of the SOFTWARE and destroying all copies of the SOFTWARE. Your prior
 distributions according to this Agreement are not affected by termination. All
 provisions will survive termination, except for the licenses granted to you.
 .
 8. Ownership.
 .
 The SOFTWARE, including all intellectual property rights, is and will remain the
 sole and exclusive property of NVIDIA or its licensors. Except as expressly
 granted in this Agreement, (i) NVIDIA reserves all rights, interests, and
 remedies in connection with the SOFTWARE, and (ii) no other license or right is
 granted to you by implication, estoppel or otherwise. You agree to cooperate
 with NVIDIA and provide reasonably requested information to verify your
 compliance with this Agreement.
 .
 9. Feedback.
 .
 You may, but you are not obligated to, provide suggestions, requests, fixes,
 modifications, enhancements, or other feedback regarding the SOFTWARE
 (collectively, "Feedback"). Feedback, even if designated as confidential by you,
 will not create any confidentiality obligation for NVIDIA or its affiliates. If
 you provide Feedback, you grant NVIDIA, its affiliates and its designees a
 non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free,
 fully paid-up and transferable license, under your intellectual property rights,
 to publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, use, make, have made, sell,
 offer for sale, distribute (through multiple tiers of distribution), import,
 create derivative works of and otherwise commercialize and exploit the Feedback
 at NVIDIA's discretion. You will not give Feedback (i) that you have reason to
 believe is subject to any restriction that impairs the exercise of the grant
 stated in this section; or (ii) subject to license terms which seek to require
 any product incorporating or developed using such Feedback, or other
 intellectual property of NVIDIA or its affiliates, to be licensed to or
 otherwise shared with any third party.
 .
 10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction.
 .

 and the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of laws
 principles or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
 Sale of Goods. The state and federal courts residing in Santa Clara County,
 California will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute or claim arising
 out of or related to this Agreement, and the parties irrevocably consent to
 personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts; except that either party may
 apply for injunctive remedies or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief in
 any jurisdiction.
 .
 11. Disclaimer of Warranties.

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!
