Hello Matthias That is exactly the point, Novell IS a large American company. If it wanted to, it would find a way to come to an agreement with nVidia, just as Microsoft has done ;-) Simon Matthias Hopf schrieb:

Why can Ubuntu include the NVIDIA drivers in there repository and openSUSE can't...???
Actually, Ubuntu *cannot* include them as well. They just don't give a damn and just do it.
Above all, Ubuntu has very conservative policy regarding product infringements.
Dream on. Novell is a large American company, thus it has to be much more careful than Canonical. Which isn't American in the first place.
This has been discussed to death. It is *impossible* for us to ship binary only drivers for NVIDIA and ATI in their current state, not for technical reasons, but for legal reasons. Full stop.
Stop complaining here, this will lead to nothing.
