Thanks Nouveau; dry up nVidia

The stockpile of existing NVIDIA cards need free drivers. The Nouveau development team's work will deal with these.

NVIDIA's attitude is the reason I haven't purchased anything with their name on it in a very long time. That includes motherboards that mention their name. NVIDIA provides a strong incentive to avoid their products.

The Nouveau developers provide rescue for trapped users. Nvidia provides traps. IMO, there's nothing wrong with thanking the rescuers while warning about the trap-maker.
