Hello everyone.
This is not a coding email - more legal/license related one.

I received bug report regarding PyOpenCL Debian package:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=722014
examples/matrix-multiply.py contains code marked
"Copyright NVIDIA, All rights reserved."
As all packages in Debian main and contrib should
contain only FLOSS (Debian Policy 2.2.2) I intend
(as advised in mentioned bug report) to repackage PyOpenCL
source tree  removing this file.

The question remains - does PyOpenCL have the right to discribute
such a file? Mentioned license reads:
"
 * NVIDIA Corporation and its licensors retain all intellectual property
and
 * proprietary rights in and to this software and related documentation.
 * Any use, reproduction, disclosure, or distribution of this software
 * and related documentation without an express license agreement from
 * NVIDIA Corporation is strictly prohibited.
"
If not - maybe it would be better to remove this example from
source tree? What about leaving it on the wiki?

Best regards.
