NVIDIA Transitioning To Official, Open-Source Linux GPU Kernel Driver
Has the much-talked-about year of Linux on the Desktop finally arrived? by Bruno Rocha
The day has finally come: NVIDIA IS PUBLISHING THEIR LINUX GPU KERNEL MODULES AS OPEN-SOURCE! To much excitement and a sign of the times, the embargo has just expired on this super-exciting milestone that many of us have been hoping to see for many years. Over the past two decades NVIDIA has offered great Linux driver support with their proprietary driver stack, but with the success of AMD's open-source driver effort going on for more than a decade, many have been calling for NVIDIA to open up their drivers. Their user-space software is remaining closed-source but as of today they have formally opened up their Linux GPU kernel modules and will be maintaining it moving forward.

There are many reasons why a company might choose to open source its internal technologies, or contribute to those maintained by other companies or individuals. For starters, it can help engage the broader software development community and serves as a useful recruitment tool. A company may also contribute resources to community-driven projects where it plays a central part of their critical infrastructure, to help bolster security, for example.
