And maintainers reserve the right to disagree
"They spent the money to create the drivers, it's their property, they get to choose whether or not to open source the code. This is as should be."

And GNU/Linux users and maintainers retain the right to disagree with that line of thinking. I personally don't know of any hardware hackers copying ATI's and Intel's graphic-card designs, do you? Yet they have open source drivers <>.

On the other hand, I am an NVidia card user and honestly do appreciate the work NVidia has done supporting Linux.
