Still doesn't explain why NVIDIA won't do what ATI does and release docs so people who want them can write their own free drivers.

Nouveau spent an awful lot of time and effort just figuring out how to talk to the hardware, if NVIDIA had just published docs we'd probably have had a free drm for NVIDIA hardware at least a year ago, (although 3d would probably still not be ready since it'd probably be gallium based, and gallium itself is not ready yet)
