As for nVidia: That is their choice - why force your opinion on them?
You've got it the other way around. They are the ones who are trying to foist everything what's wrong with non-free closed software on the free software community. They are the ones who are taking advantage of the free software community, taking what they need and refuse to give anything back.
If you want to run closed, non-free binary software, there are plenty of other operating systems you can choose, which will give you as many non-free binary blobs as you wish. But that's not what Linux is all about.
They provide linux drivers for free (and have for years)
Only for one specific definition of "free".
- better than many companies ...
I wouldn't say that.
Do you provide the linux community with something as good as they do that is used by so many people for free? ...
I would give a ballpark estimate of around million people worldwide who are using my free software. I don't know how that stacks up to the Nvidia's fan club.
Reading your comment seems to be very critical of nVidia. Though, of course, I could have read your comment wrong ...
Nope, you've got it pretty much nailed.
