Does NVIDIA have plans to open-source other GPU components (e.g. userland drivers, firmware, CUDA- & tensor-related modules)? It's awesome that the kernel modules are now FOSS and I think this decision has been a great step forward, but I've also heard a lot of concerns about proprietary blobs simply being moved from the drivers into the firmware, and I think there's still plenty of room to grow. A lot of the most important areas where NVIDIA GPU compute is involved like FEM, fluid dynamics, AI/ML, etc. would greatly benefit from a more open approach to the full GPU stack, not to mention that massive industry communities would be able to contribute to improving NVIDIA products.

We don't currently have plans for releasing the source to any of our other driver components.

Fixed; thanks.

While this driver only supports Turing, Ampere and beyond will nvidia release reclocking firmware and other firmware for Nouveau to use for Maxwell and Pascal?

[sTiKyt]

Very curious about this one

OK

@Greek it is a reference to this

Guys, lets not use the stick. Nvidia is a carrot company.
