It's really pointless arguing along those lines, anyway.  We have Livna
that already does it for us (provides a modified installation). 

NVidia's own driver is not FOSS, and it doesn't look like it'll ever be,
that's the only thing worth us trying to communicate to NVidia.  And
that alone (being non-FOSS) is going to preclude it from inclusion in
Fedora.

I don't have a problem with the FOSS stance with Fedora.  There's plenty
of other Linux distros for those who don't care about that.
