Remember Les, the kernel is released under the GPL,
and as such it is restricted to the conditions
provided under it.  There are other licenses which
might not restrict this, but the kernel and all the
drivers that make their way into it fall under this
umbrella.  It is a very touchy issue and there's not
much that we can do to change it:( .  

For me and others, the nv driver works fine :) and it
is open source, comes with Fedora and other distros.

Regards,

Antonio
