15Use of NVIDIA's products requires three elements: the SOFTWARE, the
16hardware, and a personal computer. The SOFTWARE is protected by copyright
17laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual
18property laws and treaties. The SOFTWARE may be protected by various
19patents, and is not sold, and instead is only licensed for use, strictly
20in accordance with this document. The hardware is protected by various
21patents, and is sold, but this agreement does not cover that sale, since
22it may not necessarily be sold as a package with the SOFTWARE. This
23agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the SOFTWARE LICENSE only.
