I know you said you're not a lawyer, but.... Linux is GPLv2, right? So why is it ok to distribute Linux, but not the NVIDIA driver?

- boulos 9y agoYou can distribute GPL things if you make the source available. The source for Linux is freely available. The source for NVIDIA's entire driver is not (the shim layer that actually interacts with Linux does have the source code in the .run file, that's how you build it yourself).
