Read more.A sign that we should expect improved Linux drivers in the near-future?
I wonder if this has anything to do with Steam and Mac... seems inevitable that it will wind up on Linux at some point, and it's the first meaningful step towards gaming on Linux I've known in my lifetime.
Sadly, I suspect the article is correct and it's more to do with Android.
But will they go open source? If so then that solves a lot of problems.
I cant see Nvidia going open source, they still are withholding code on their tegra devices, and manufacturers cant release it due to Nvidia saying no... basically Nvidia doesnt help the community at all unless they get paid instantly.
Still, I will be awaiting what happens next

Given that AMD (& Intel) are are already members -- as mentioned by zdnet -- and their driver support for linux is terrible, this seems most plausible.This is more likely. nVidia has made it pretty clear they've no intention of opening up their blob.
