Licencing question

The text of the license was written to ensure the driver can be repacked by other distros and redistribute. As long as the text of license file is replicated, and binaries are redistributed as provided in the .run package (unmodified), and it is still possible to identify what component is what and where it came from, the license terms are met IMO. Note however that the original package now has a much more sophisticated udev rules than the project you linked, so I'd recommend to stick to them, rather than rolling your own.

Cheers,
Michal
