Ok, I haven't used the slackbuild script myself. Usually I just download
the nvidial run binary and install it using checkinstall to get myself a
Slackware package. After that I manually clean out the /lib/modules/*/
modules* from the package and istead do "depmod -a" in the package
install script.

That file is not the source for the driver itself. It seems to be the
source for an install tool used to "install, upgrade, or uninstall the
NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver Set". I haven't used that tool myself,
but the tool seems to have a GPL license.

Good that the problem is fixed!
