Wow, kudos again to the nouveau devs!
I've gotta say, the first time I heard about nouveau many many years ago when it was still in its infancy I thought "cool project, but the devs will probably get tired fast and it will be yet another possibly cool thing that never was". How glad I am to be proven wrong again and again, you rock!

It seemed hopeless to me. How wrong I was!

Can not you just get permission from Nvidia for redistribution of firmware?
I mean, its useless for anyone BUT for Nvidia GPU owners.
It still will not be FOSS, but nobody would have to digg into proprietary driver in order to get it working.

Wonder if anyone has approached nVidia about that idea?
