[11:19] <ashes> i have a request for anonymous. root nvidia. publish source code
[11:20] <XorA|FOSDEM> not much point in that :-D
[11:20] <XorA|FOSDEM> Im going to bet nvidia drivers source looks like a bad perl program :-D
[11:25] <infinity> Publishing the source would just open us all to lawsuits if anything even remotely looking like their code ends up in a free driver.  You don't want that.
[11:31] <XorA|FOSDEM> infinity: good point
[11:32] <XorA|FOSDEM> also the complete source of Windows was stolen by hackers and released and it made zero difference to projects like wine who couldnt touch the source
[11:33] <infinity> For exactly the above reason.
[11:33] <infinity> Right now, nouveau probably has some code that looks suspiciously like nvidia, only because there's sometimes only one obvious way to do something.
[11:34] <infinity> But it's better not to know.
