This is a silly hot take. If I figured something out before the rest of the world, I’m entitled to my knowledge and don’t owe sharing it with the world if I don’t want to.

Proprietary is a way to keep market share longer than the competition, that’s it. If you figured something complex out earlier, then you’re set for a while until your competition figures it out too.

No.

Well you gotta stay ahead of the competition somehow. And nVidia is nVidia. They do this kind of thing all the time, until it can be proven. Sadly this will have very little repercussions. They will settle outside of court for some lofty sum of money they can easily afford and job done keep doing it. I assume this is another reason why they will never open source their drivers.

They won’t open source their drivers, but community will) NVK for the way, recently they passed vulkan 1.0 test, progress is going bois)

Wasn’t exactly NVIDIA, but an employee from another company who was hired by NVIDIA. Whether NVIDIA asked the employee to steal for them will probably determine how deep in hot water they are.

Even if they didn’t ask him to do it, if he instantly produced a truckload of code they knew where it came from and that it was illegally obtained.
