Comment 5 for bug 723432

looked into copyright (via http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nvidia-settings.html):

Says it's GPL-2, therefore removed tag eq "proprietary"

http://ftp-master.metadata.debian.org/changelogs/contrib/n/nvidia-settings/unstable_copyright.

Really wonder how the situation is on the other BIG5 of the Linux distros: Open Suse, Fedora, +++ ?

Probably it would just need a little questionare on Nvidai's Linux-Forum:

https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/

Who knows, may be they could easily be merged from the W$-version side?

Speaking in Open Source Terms, this way the benefit would "hit" a wider audience... =:;D
