After time and time again being total jerks, even to the point of Linus Torvalds giving them the middle finger, Nvidia now does a 180 on their policies regarding open source drivers for Linux.

One might somehow suspect that this is connected to other recent announcements regarding Linux... Hum-de-hum..

And so Blizzard sent unto them this Brawl of Yogg, As a lesson for their sins of Pride and Greed, for he is the Prophet of Madness and RNG. On that day, the tavern descended into an era of chaos and darkness, until the weekend passed and everyone forgot all about it. Amen. Book of SMOrc, Verse 20, Chapter 4." - Feam T

Nvidia are pretty much just playing it safe and not taking any risks with their primary market, seeing as they are far from dominant in the mobile market and have no hand in the next-gen consoles at all.
