What sickens me is that a piece of open source software is now abused for greedy corporate politics. That's ugly.
no kernel dev prevents Nvidia from playing nice. It is Nvidia who acts like a Disney villain and then mouth pieces like Michael blame the ones who were wronged - the kernel devs who wrote the code.
