Nvidia is publishing its Linux GPU kernel modules on an open source basis with a dual GPL/MIT license now available on GitHub.
It’s a good day for users of Linux distros as the hardware giant says the move will allow tighter integration with the OS and for developers to debug, integrate, and contribute back to their communities.
The move follows a period of colorful history between Linux and Nvidia, as Linus Torvalds, the chief architect of the Linux kernel, once dubbed Nvidia “the single worst company we’ve ever dealt with” in a 2012 speech.
