Bug#502457: RFP: nvidia-cg-toolkit

["Andrew Fenn" <andrewfenn@gmail.com>]

Tags: needs-packaging
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

There is already an nvidia-cg-toolkit package which installs the 2004
files directly from nvidia's website but this package should be made
obsolete. At the time this package needed to download directly from
nivida's website due to copyright issues but this is no longer the
case.

If one downloads the tgz for Linux ( on this page:
http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cg_toolkit.html#downloads ) there
are multiple exemptions allowing for Debian to re-distribute the
package.

Looking at the .tgz file go to /./usr/local/Cg/docs/license.txt

"2.1.3  Linux Exception.  Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section
       2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux operating
       system may be copied and redistributed, provided that the binary
       files thereof are not modified in any way (except for unzipping of
       compressed files)."
