AFAIK, nVidia is locked up in closed source licences and non-disclosure 
agreements, and that is the only reason why they don't provide specs and open 
source drivers. It appears nVidia has good will, but legal issues are a 
showstopper.

And the fact that they provide support next to none (of their closed source 
drivers) demonstrates that they *do* care about Linux market, and do take the 
community support seriously. It would be foolish to alienate them and/or look 
down on them, given all this. It appears they are doing the best they can, 
given the legal rules of the game.

Best, :-)
