+           License For Customer Use of NVIDIA Software
+
+
+IMPORTANT NOTICE -- READ CAREFULLY: This License For Customer Use of
+NVIDIA Software ("LICENSE") is the agreement which governs use of the
+software of NVIDIA Corporation and its subsidiaries ("NVIDIA")
+downloadable herefrom, including computer software and associated
+printed materials ("SOFTWARE"). By downloading, installing, copying,
+or otherwise using the SOFTWARE, you agree to be bound by the terms
+of this LICENSE. If you do not agree to the terms of this LICENSE,
+do not download the SOFTWARE.
+
+RECITALS
+
+Use of NVIDIA's products requires three elements: the SOFTWARE, the
+hardware on a graphics controller board, and a personal computer. The
+SOFTWARE is protected by copyright laws and international copyright 
+treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties.
+The SOFTWARE is not sold, and instead is only licensed for use, strictly
+in accordance with this document. The hardware is protected by various
+patents, and is sold, but this LICENSE does not cover that sale, since
+it may  not necessarily be sold as a package with the SOFTWARE. This
+LICENSE sets forth the terms and conditions of the SOFTWARE LICENSE only.
+
+1. DEFINITIONS
+
+1.1 Customer. Customer means the entity or individual that downloads
+the SOFTWARE.
+
+2. GRANT OF LICENSE
+
+2.1 Rights and Limitations of Grant. NVIDIA hereby grants Customer
+the following non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the
+SOFTWARE, with the following limitations:
+
+2.1.1 Rights. Customer may install and use one copy of the SOFTWARE
+on a single computer, and except for making one back-up copy of the
+Software, may not otherwise copy the SOFTWARE. This LICENSE of SOFTWARE
+may not be shared or used concurrently on different computers.
+
+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).
+
+2.1.3 Limitations.
+
+No Reverse Engineering. Customer may not reverse engineer, decompile,
+or disassemble the SOFTWARE, nor attempt in any other manner to obtain
+the source code. 
+
+No Separation of Components. The SOFTWARE is licensed as a single product.
+Its component parts may not be separated for use on more than one computer,
+nor otherwise used separately from the other parts.
+
+No Rental. Customer may not rent or lease the SOFTWARE to someone else.
+
+3. TERMINATION
+
+This LICENSE will automatically terminate if Customer fails to comply
+with any of the terms and conditions hereof. In such event, Customer
+must destroy all copies of the SOFTWARE and all of its component parts.
+
+Defensive Suspension.  If Customer commences or participates in any legal
+proceeding against NVIDIA, then NVIDIA may, in its sole discretion,
+suspend or terminate all license grants and any other rights provided
+under this LICENSE during the pendency of such legal proceedings. 
+
+4. COPYRIGHT
+
+All title and copyrights in and to the SOFTWARE (including but not
+limited to all images, photographs, animations, video, audio, music,
+text, and other information incorporated into the SOFTWARE), the 
+accompanying printed materials, and any copies of the SOFTWARE, are
+owned by NVIDIA, or its suppliers. The SOFTWARE is protected by copyright
+laws and international treaty provisions. Accordingly, Customer is
+required to treat the SOFTWARE like any other copyrighted material, 
+except as otherwise allowed pursuant to this LICENSE and that it may
+make one copy of the SOFTWARE solely for backup or archive purposes.
+
+5. APPLICABLE LAW
+
+This LICENSE shall be deemed to have been made in, and shall be
+construed  pursuant to, the laws of the State of California.  The
+United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale
+of Goods is specifically disclaimed.
+
+6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION ON LIABILITY
+
+6.1 No Warranties. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
+THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND NVIDIA AND ITS SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM
+ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR 
+PURPOSE.
+
+6.2 No Liability for Consequential Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
+PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL NVIDIA OR ITS SUPPLIERS
+BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES 
+WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS
+PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR ANY
+OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE
+SOFTWARE, EVEN IF NVIDIA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGES.
+
+7. MISCELLANEOUS 
+
+If any provision of this LICENSE is inconsistent with, or cannot be
+fully enforced under, the law, such provision will be construed as
+limited to the extent necessary to be consistent with and fully
+enforceable under the law. This LICENSE is the final, complete and
+exclusive agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter 
+hereof, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings and 
+agreements relating to such subject matter, whether oral or written.
+This LICENSE may only be modified in writing signed by an authorized
+officer of NVIDIA.  Customer agrees that it will not ship, transfer
+or export the SOFTWARE into any country, or use the SOFTWARE in any
+manner, prohibited by the United States Bureau of Export Administration
+or any export laws, restrictions or regulations.
