| as NVIDIA's OpenCL driver launch for Windows -- they
| have made their OpenCL support publicly available.

Linux Foundation points finger at Nvidia
,----[ Quote ]
| Though a statement issued Monday does not cite Nvidia by name, Linux
| Foundation Technical Advisory Board Chair James Bottomley cited Nvidia in a
| phone interview. "My intent is to point out the problems Nvidia has been
| causing themselves with their binary-only (drivers)," he said. "They are
| certainly one of the few companies sticking to a binary-only strategy."
| Binary-only means the drivers are essentially closed.

NVidia says no to request to release open source drivers, once again
,----[ Quote ]
| Nvidia reiterated that it wonât provide open source drivers for Linux because
| the company claims there is no need for it.

| as the nv X driver and other utilities that work with the proprietary driver,
| including the installer, config and settings.The company is a leading
| provider of graphics cards and software for the desktop and embraces a cross
| platform strategy.
