> Expecting all Linux drivers to be GPL-licensed is unrealistic and just leads to crappy user experiences. nVidia is never going to release full-featured GPL'd drivers, and even corporative vendors sometimes have NDAs which preclude releasing open source drivers.

Nvidia is pretty much the only remaining holdout here on the hardware driver front. I don't see why they should get special treatment when the 100%-GPL model works for everyone else.
