X-Comment:
 These files are firmware-like programs for initialising GPU context-switching.
 They were extracted from memory-mapped IO traces of the nvidia binary driver
 initialising the hardware.  They were not generated by reverse-engineering the
 source code of the binary driver.
 .
 It is unclear to me whether these files are actually copyrightable.  It seems
 that these programs are likely to be generated by the driver at runtime rather
 than being hand-written.  The nouveau driver takes this approach for nv4x
 cards.  If they are copyrightable, they should fall under the nvidia binary
 driver's licence, below.

 the software of NVIDIA Corporation and its subsidiaries ("NVIDIA")
 downloadable herefrom, including computer software and associated

 RECITALS
 . 
 Use of NVIDIA's products requires three elements: the SOFTWARE, the
 hardware on a graphics controller board, and a personal computer. The
 SOFTWARE is protected by copyright laws and international copyright
 treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties.
 The SOFTWARE is not sold, and instead is only licensed for use,
 strictly in accordance with this document.  The hardware is protected
 by various patents, and is sold, but this agreement does not cover
 that sale, since it may not necessarily be sold as a package with
 the SOFTWARE.  This agreement sets forth the terms and conditions
 of the SOFTWARE LICENSE only.
 .

 downloads the SOFTWARE.

 on a single computer, and except for making one back-up copy of
 the Software, may not otherwise copy the SOFTWARE.  This LICENSE
 of SOFTWARE may not be shared or used concurrently on different
 computers.
 .
 2.1.2  Linux Exception.  Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of
 Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux
 operating system may be copied and redistributed, provided that
 the binary files thereof are not modified in any way (except for
 unzipping of compressed files).
 .
 2.1.3  Limitations.
 .
 No Reverse Engineering.  Customer may not reverse engineer,
 decompile, or disassemble the SOFTWARE, nor attempt in any other
 manner to obtain the source code.
 .
 No Separation of Components.  The SOFTWARE is licensed as a
 single product.  Its component parts may not be separated for use
 on more than one computer, nor otherwise used separately from the
 other parts.
 .
 No Rental.  Customer may not rent or lease the SOFTWARE to someone
 else.
 .
 3.  TERMINATION
 .
 This LICENSE will automatically terminate if Customer fails to
 comply with any of the terms and conditions hereof.  In such event,
 Customer must destroy all copies of the SOFTWARE and all of its
 component parts.
 .
 4.  COPYRIGHT
 .
 All title and copyrights in and to the SOFTWARE (including but
 not limited to all images, photographs, animations, video, audio,
 music, text, and other information incorporated into the SOFTWARE),
 the accompanying printed materials, and any copies of the SOFTWARE,
 are owned by NVIDIA, or its suppliers.  The SOFTWARE is protected
 by copyright laws and international treaty provisions.  Accordingly,
 Customer is required to treat the SOFTWARE like any other copyrighted
 material, except as otherwise allowed pursuant to this LICENSE
 and that it may make one copy of the SOFTWARE solely for backup or
 archive purposes.

 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
 DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS
 OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT
 OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF NVIDIA HAS
 BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
 .
 7.  MISCELLANEOUS 
 .
 The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
 Sale of Goods is specifically disclaimed.  If any provision of this
 LICENSE is inconsistent with, or cannot be fully enforced under,
 the law, such provision will be construed as limited to the extent
 necessary to be consistent with and fully enforceable under the law.
 This agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement between
 the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes
 all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements relating
 to such subject matter, whether oral or written.  Customer agrees
 that it will not ship, transfer or export the SOFTWARE into any
