Public bug reported:
The explicit copyright text in each source file is Proprietary all
rights reserved, not open source.
The package copyright file "/usr/share/doc/nvidia-340/copyright" is less
than ideal and only purports to repeat extracts from an email exchange,
it is not a copyright license.
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.
