but there's no source.  This license term I believe says that we're bound
by all the terms of the GPL as well when dealing with that software, but
since there's neither any source nor (at least so far as I could find) any
offer of source included, I don't believe we can comply with those terms.

Is NVIDIA actually in violation of the GPL here, or are they distributing
the source somewhere with a notice that I haven't been able to find?  I
looked through the CUDA download page and couldn't find any sign of a
source distribution.
