Exactly!
If I was a decision making exec at nVidia I would see the issue as a
choice of:
a) release code, gain support, gain fame, gain users (how many?)
b) don't release code, keep secrets from competition
As long as competition is as fierce as it is in the video card industry,
I don't see much changing, unless someone can convince them that there
is a HUGE benefit to them as a money making machine to go with choice
(a).
