References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org Precedence: bulk X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Return-Path: linux-kernel-owner+Hell.Surfers=40cwctv.net@vger.kernel.org OK.... I have a suggestion.. We all concede (with the exception of a few) that Nvidia did nothing wrong with including headers in their driver. I dont think they did... I use their product, and it works well for me. I would LOVE to see Nvidia open source, but that might just drive a nail in the right place for them.. and they go under. We cannot force our ideas on a company, all they will do is turn and walk away. We can show them our way, if they like it, good. if not, we tried. I think we have tried, and I think Nvidia is well aware of our way here. Now, on to the suggestion! lets let this thread die. its been argued before, over and over. please?
