The current NVIDIA GFORCE end-user license <https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/geforce-license/> has an exception for Linux: (there is also a clause that limits use in data centers with a bitcoin exception): 2.1.2 Linux/FreeBSD Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux or FreeBSD operating systems, or other operating systems derived from the source code to these operating systems, may be copied and redistributed, provided that the binary files thereof are not modified in any way (except for unzipping of compressed files). -- George N. White III
