The same seems to apply to the xserver-xorg-video-nv package, which is
where these files come from.

Aaron, do you know if it would be possible to get them relicensed under
a more MIT-like license, rather than the current more restrictive one?
The COPYING file for xf86-video-nv doesn't actually carry the license
from e.g. src/nv_setup.c.
