I’d imagine any company open-sourcing their code has to go through a pretty decent amount of re-written routines. Nvidia has been open-sourcing their drivers, but it’s been taking forever. I can only imagine how complex commenting GPU firmware must be.

It’s been taking forever because they’re moving a lot of code into the firmware to keep it closed source. It’s essentially a brand new driver that takes advantage of newer firmware. That’s one of the reasons the open-source driver only works with Turing (2000 series) and newer cards - they don’t want to spend the time updating older firmware to handle the open-source driver.

Or you could just winamp it.
Oh, wait, that’s a terrible idea.
