Well, the open source driver can be done quickly if
nvidia hand out docs. Nobody can do it quick when you
have to reverse each and every register - unpaid.

Sometimes one wonder why many of the asic shops keep
the docs secret. Maybe lot of features aren't working
in hw, so they're just emulated in sw. Nobody gonna
to know if you don't hand out docs, right?!
