Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Severity: normal

The source code in the nvidia provided kernel module has the following 
copyright text:

/* _NVRM_COPYRIGHT_BEGIN_

This provides no permission to modify the code, so distribution of 
modified code is likely to be a copyright violation. I can't find 
any grant of permission to modify in the other license files. Is there 
somewhere else that provides this permission?
