NVIDIA To Publicly Release Some Documentation

[Rallos Zek]

Microsoft is way more committed to Open Source than Nvidia, and this joke of a half ass attempt at PR shows just how much respect Nvidia as for us in the OSS community.

All I can say is Fuck You Nvidia!

Babysteps but at least its a start.

I was like "WOW desktop cards" but then i realized it was for tegra.

This is a nice start, but they're seriously putting an NDA on this guy? That's almost as much a dick move as intentionally not giving out any documentation at all. What's the point of letting something be open source if the guy needs to keep his work to himself? How does nvidia expect this 1 guy to get anything done? I'm sorry if I missed something and if I am speaking on ignorance, I just think an NDA is uncalled for.

Remember, this is the same company that gave us the 'nv' DDX.
Truly committed to open source I'd say.

I find it difficult to come to this conclusion from what you wrote.
Only Tegra docs under NDA - and apparently largely incomplete - sounds not too promising.
