Nvidia Reiterates Position on Closed Source Driver (OSnews)

OSnews reports on video card manufacturer Nvidia's plans to keep their drivers closed. "Nvidia, which delivers probably the most prominent closed-source Linux driver, has reiterated its position concerning this matter. ZDNet's Paula Rooney contacted Nvidia for an official response to the statement - and she got one. "NVIDIA supports Linux, as well as the Linux community and has long been praised for the quality of the NVIDIA Linux driver. NVIDIA's fully featured Linux graphics driver is provided as binary-only because it contains intellectual property NVIDIA wishes to protect, both in hardware and in software.""
