Hmmm, you have a really odd definition of openly hostile. As an open source developer I am in regular contact with developers from nvidia who support the nvidia driver on FreeBSD that they actively maintain. OTOH, certain other open source projects have a known history of intentionally changing ABIs to break the nvidia driver. I find that a good bit more hostile than the open collobration I've had with nvidia. -- John Baldwin
