Fabian,

I'm not so sure this is true. You might want to check out the license agreement which appears to include a "linux exception."

"Linux Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux operating system may be copied and redistributed, provided that the binary files thereof are not modified in any way (except for unzipping of compressed files)."

Would making them available to the kernel violate this agreement?

The entire license agreement is here: http://nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=nv_swlicense
