[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#494388: debian/copyright missing some bits

Package: nvidia-settings
Version: 173.14.09-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

just found when merging the nvidia-settings to ubuntu: debian/copyright
fails to list the specific (less restrictive) licenses found in the
source package together with the copyright holders.

I'm attaching the current Ubuntu copyright file (updated with a new year
found in the source code for NVIDIA corp.).

Thanks,
   Stefan.
