> Why use Nvidia when AMD has drivers in the kernel that will never be removed.

It's perfectly reasonable to be concerned about a vendor going bankrupt and choosing not to support their product. If that's the issue, just don't buy their products.

If one thinks that CUDA functionality is really that important, then isn't that proof that it's valuable IP? Nobody should be forced to open up valuable IP. I don't think it's reasonable to call somebody scum of the earth because they value and don't want to give away what they created.



Nobody talked about forcing Nvidia to open up their IP. Their product is just bad from the driver point of view, and we don't want to buy it.

Also, I don't think that someone is bad for making use of crappy laws such as IP laws, but I don't think we want to have that discussion here.
