The smartest move would be to write a nice email to NVidia, setting out your
reasons for wanting them to open-source their drivers. If you phrase it in terms
of benefits to them, that is, "more exposure" rather than "easier for me to
get", they are more likely to respond.
Indeed, it wouldn't hurt if many of the people on this list did that. To truly
rile up feelings of jealousy, point out how much trouble and pain manufacturers
go to to get their drivers and services adopted by Microsoft, and that Linux is
growing, Microsoft is shrinking, where do you want to be two years from now?
It will do you, me, the world more good if NVidia open-sources than if Mandrake
ships a closed driver.
