All this lawyer-ese detracts from making Linux useful. It's a pity that so much effort is spent on some fundamentalist view of open source.

- barryrandall 3y agoAgreed. NVIDIA is wasting kernel developers' time and humanity would be better off if they just open sourced their driver.
- jeroenhd 3y agoThey have open sourced part of their driver. They stuffed all of the proprietary crap into a firmware image and open sourced a loader for it so GPL isn't a problem on their recent cards. Their proprietary drivers will keep working on Windows for years to come, so it's not like Nvidia customers don't have any alternatives.
