Understandable.  I on the other hand, have more of an 80s, if
it works screw the ethics, view.  Taint my kernel all you
want as long as it keeps ticking along.  And so far the closed
source nvidia drivers work extremely well for me.

They are most definitely not telling anyone what OS to
run, as they do actually supply linux (and freebsd) drivers. 
Most card manufacturers don't even go that far.  It's not like
the source for their Win32 drivers is wide open either.

- From my understanding they cannot open the source even if
they wanted to do so due to technology that they license from
another company, but i do not know if this is true or
not.

Just my two cents.
