So you're going to sue Dominique if he does?

If he redistributes the prebuilt nvidia driver, I will take the same
action that I have taken against other individuals and companies that
distribute such a thing in the past.

Knowingly ignoring someone who violates your copyright doesn't look good
if you wish to do future enforcement of your copyright. Or so says my
lawyers...

Dear Greg,

Wow, that's a nice attitude from a direct member of the project I was intending
to help.

Greg: just out of curiosity: did your lawyers finally contact NVidia and ATI?
You might be aware that their servers are distributing binary blobs.
Just in case you were not aware: Take this mail in it's informative way to let
you know about the fact.

Should you now actually consider NOT pursuing against them, I can more or less
be sure to be able to use exactly THIS fact against any steps you
might raise against me. It might not put you in the best shed by having to
admit that you *knowingly* accepted somebody doing it and for somebody else
you do not tolerate it.

And as of course nobody could say something if you're not officially made aware
and nobody could verify your knowledge of such an infringement, this
mail serves exactly THAT purpose.

Best wishes,
Dominique
