2. Couple of guys from Intel and Samsung don't define companies policies. I bet nobody from that companies' boards even know that they are supporting Wayland+GBM.
3. That is irrelevant to discussion. Even if all mankind would vote for Wayland, that wouldn't change the fact that wayland guys (with NIH syndrome ) are trying to replace existing solution with a new one. A new one, which made incompatible with existing nvidia solution, don't know out of laziness or intentionally. So it is wayland developers are trying to force nvidia to rewrite drivers Mesa way, not nvidia forcing anybody to do anything.
Isn't this what they always did? I mean to work at all the NVIDIA driver always replaced parts of Mesa with linkers to its userspace 3D library. What's different this time? It's just glue code, their main driver is still the same code that runs on Windows.
FOSS community is trying to do same thing MS did, notorious "embrace, extend and exterminate". They have started with a support for open X11/GLX/EGL/OpenGL, standards designed to allow different implementations, and now they are "improving" one part after another, making one of implementations only possible.
