@BrodieOnLinux TD:LR: nvidia being nvidia and still it's not fully FOSS and it's still under nvidia's umbrella

So I guess "nvidia fuck you" still valid

@esmail It's a step in the right direction which is better than nothing

@BrodieOnLinux @esmail I agree with Brodie that it is better than nothing.

However, what I don't get is why Brodie implies that we'll have to wait to see if this actually helps improve the Nouveau drivers. If the kernel modules are open source, why would they (potentially) not be able to include it in their project? 🤔

@sudo @BrodieOnLinux maybe nvidia will add stupid weird license that will prevent nouveau

@sudo @esmail I literally never said that, I said I'm not a lawyer and can't confirm what they can and can't use

@BrodieOnLinux @esmail Oops! My bad. I guess I misinterpreted what you said. I apologize. Thanks for clearing it up for me, though. 😃

@sudo @esmail My main concern was the modified MIT licence, I'm not entirely sure on the implications of the changes
