Ahh, but replicated effort is something that open source people
do very well at indeed. If nvidia provided non-functional GPL
source code with all the proprietary 3rd party bits ripped out,
I would expect a hoard of developers would jump at the chance to
fixup the non-functional mess, clean it up, reimplement all the
missing proprietary bits. I'd bet you $20 US we could have a
functional driver within 2 weeks. And have a high quality driver
roughly equal to their proprietary one within 6 months. Thats
the way things work around these parts of the net. I bought a
copy of Quake when they GPLd their code to show support. I
similarly bought a copy of Quake II after they GPLd their code.
If Nvidia released their code under the GPL, I'd buy one of their
cards. As is, I'm sticking with my ATI card...
