NVIDIA Licence Update (Linux Exception)

Just for kicks I re-read the licence, and it has a new section labeled "2.1.2 Linux Exception" Basically GNU/Linux users are now free to redistribute the driver file. Not only this, but the FAQ section of the README file says you can redistribute in whatever form necessary, stating distributions are welcome to include it as a package as well. Woohoo!"

Whatever. I simply don't trust Nvidia. Even if they mean well today, they'll be well mean tomorrow. I don't understand why anyone still uses them. They lost my trust, and I'll never go back.
