Red Hat Experimenting With "NVK" Nouveau Open-Source Vulkan Driver

[kenren]

Nouveau developers want to stay legal for good reasons. Yeah, it sucks to leave perfectly usable cards in unusable state but I guess there is no other possibility.

Bypassing the signing mechanism is illegal? Why?

As far I know firmware license forbids that, it can't be redistributed outside Nvidia driver. In theory they could leave getting firmware to user but that is also risky in terms of legality so they want to stay away from this just in case.
