NVIDIA Developer Talks Openly About Linux Support

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=nvidia_qa_linux&num=1

In late August we started asking our readers for any questions they
had for NVIDIA about Linux and this graphics company's support of
open-source operating systems. Twelve pages worth of questions were
accumulated and we finally have the answers to a majority of them.
NVIDIA's Andy Ritger, who leads the user-space side of the NVIDIA UNIX
Graphics Driver team for workstation, desktop, and notebook GPUs,
answered these questions. With that said, there are some great,
in-depth technical answers and not the usual marketing speak found in
many interviews. While Linux is our focus, Andy's team and his answers
for the most part apply equally to NVIDIA drivers on Solaris and
FreeBSD platforms too. There are many questions that range from the
status of new features in their proprietary graphics driver to why it
is unlikely there will be any official open-source support from NVIDIA
to download percentages of their Linux driver.
