“While NVidia has broken into Linux, there is still much
mystery behind their drivers. Open source, closed-source, licensed
technologies and more are our subjects today with our guest, Nick
Triantos of NVidia.“
“During some discussions with SGI and Precision Insight, I came
across Nick’s e-mail address, and decided to shoot a couple
questions his way, since I figured everyone deserved an explanation
for NVidia’s current licensing of their Linux drivers. There are
many common misconceptions about NVidia and why their drivers are
not released under open source licensing. Here’s what he had to
say. My questions are in italic text, while Nick’s responses will
appear in boldface.”
