    Honestly - the intent is pretty clear - changing the install script seems 
fine from a layman's point of view - but instead of us playing silly one 
could just ask nvidia if its ok ... and engage a discussion - they have been 
very helpful in providing working drivers and they may be quite willing to 
assist further. 

     I'd suggest open a dialogue - that way you don't need to argue at all.
