Fork it using the github interface and send a pull request via email.

I tried this in a i386 chroot due to uninstallability in wheezy+/amd64:

apt-get install nvidia-cg-toolkit debsums $DEPS_OF_NEW_TOOLKIT_PACKAGE
dpkg -i --auto-deconfigure lib*.deb nvidia-cg-dev_*.deb \
    nvidia-cg-doc_*.deb nvidia-cg-toolkit_*.deb
debsums -c

Mailing lists archives need more space for the discussion of these

Correct, I mixed things up. It's GPL-3.

I'm not exactly sure about 2.1.0009, but license was changed in 2.1.0012
(and is unchanged since then).

  No Modification.  The SOFTWARE may be redistributed providing that
  distributed Cg compiler and runtime binaries are unmodified, except
  for decompression and compression.

I don't consider text files as "binaries".
