Caught in the crossfire? NVIDIA has been skirting around the GPL for years with its Linux module, without ever contributing back. They've being hindering the adoption of Wayland for years due their refusal to implement GBM in their driver. I guess they kinda deserve the flak, especially since AMD and Intel have shown the world time and time again that you can have a fully open GPU driver merged with Linux without any negative downsides.
