That's bullshit. There are repeated public statements from NVidia that they
don't see any market or demand for "open source" (Free Software) drivers and
that therefore they don't care. Don't delude yourself!

I disagree. Providing proprietary drivers is NOT providing support to Free
Software or GNU/Linux. (In fact it's worse than doing nothing because some
people who would otherwise help the Nouveau project are content with using
the proprietary crap.)
