Bug Description
The explicit copyright text in each source file is Proprietary all rights reserved, not open source.
The package copyright file "/usr/share/
I think we should regularise this by asking Nvidia to re-write the copyright headers of these files AND include a specific open-source license file COPYING or LICENCE in the kernel wedge source.
