"NVIDIA made the decision to fully support linux a long time ago."
NVIDIA is not legally obligated to support Linux; are they?
- forgottenpaswrd 16y ago"NVIDIA is not legally obligated to support Linux; are they?" Yes, I think they are because of contracts with big guys that need Linux on things like supercomputers(almost all of them have linux inside).
- azim 16y agoInterestingly enough, a lot of developers argue that Nvidia and ATI are in violation of of the GPL by releasing proprietary drivers for Linux. The language is unclear on whether or not the kernel's GPL license extends to kernel loadable modules or not, many say it does.
