I'm pretty sure packages exist for Ubuntu, although they might be 3rd party. 
I'm absolutely sure FC have them via the 3rd party ilvna repo:
http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/6/i386/

The idea of Packman hosting the packages was presented before. I believe their 
hesitation was not so much fear of GPL violation. More a matter of (1) 
redistribution rights for Nvidia/ATi and (2) building the packages in the 
first place, iirc.

I think the redistribution rights issue was cleared up, not sure about the 
building issue.
