This doesn't actually solve the major standing issue with Nvidia's drivers as far as I'm aware, because the biggest thorn has been the secretful FALCON units, and the code signing of firmware blobs that's kept projects like nouveau from being able to gain traction.

Remember, it isn't enough that the kernel module is FOSS. The firmware is where the crux is.



Radeons have the same issue, tho.
