I do not use your binary blob anywhere, only "nv" for me!!
Don't forget that FreeBSD needs some love aswell, Linux is not the only problem here people, open minds for open source is only fair. AMD/Ati and Sun has open sourced recently, c'mon NVIDIA or my next card will be AMD.
Let us know.

OpenSource ftw!
Nvidia is one step away from becoming the best graphics manufacturer. The only thing that is lacking is open source drivers.
Калі ласка!
I've had great experiences with nvidia cards in the past. Opening up the specs would make them even better.
I hate Microsoft!!!!!!!!
Seriously, please.
Open the blob, dammit!
Please open the drivers
FREE SOURCE CODE FOREVER!
A l'heure où des fabriquants livrent leurs PC avec Linux, il serait temps de fournir les drivers ouverts !
Il est temps pour les constructeurs de s'ouvrir au monde OpenSource, pour le bien de tous !

It would *GREATLY* make my decision easy if i should by Intel/Ati/Nvidia beacuse i dumped Windows 4 years ago in favor of Linux.
FREEE!
Please? be humanity!
As a personal and professional user of Nvidia's cards for gaming and embedded computing, the open-sourcing of the drivers would have a tremendous positive impact in my daily activities.
please allow for fast in-kernel maintance and allow access to the source code
It is true. I have been rather displease with your driver support. But I still love you under windows.
Please. Soon.
Please, we need the relief!
please...
Drivers must be FREE!
Opening driver will give you upper edge in market.
Yes, i fully agree with that letter.
Please, support linux and opensource. We like your company`s products, so whey will be much popular. And yor profit will get higher.
See amd/ATI
Go Open Nvidia and I will nevr ever buy somthing else.
oh , cmon, please just do it!
free drivers for everyone!
Open Source Open Mind
I want free drivers !
I need good 3d drivers by Geforce 8500(msi)
The lack of an open-source nVidia driver has crippled their products in my eyes. If no open-source drivers are made available soon, nVidia may lose a customer.
ÄÀ!
I have decided to only support open-source friendly hardware in all future purchases. So please release your specs and drivers or I will have to go to your competitors.
I could actually start selling Nvidia products, had they open drivers like Intel does.
I agree wholeheartedly with the simple requests of this petition. I currently run Linux on ten machines, and I have purchased nVidia cards for each. I also recommend nVidia cards to others for their superior performance and lack of problems.
I have been a longtime Nvidia customer, but my choice of OS has become Ubuntu GNU/Linux. My next card will be ATi unless Nvidia develops an open-source strategy.
I have a nvdia chipset and I would like the source code to be opened. Thanks.
The hardware is great. Please make the software be great too.
open source forever
You guys have better hardware and much better drivers than your competition. Please save us from the Intel monopoly!
Especially when it comes to other platforms there is no way around a well community supported open source driver. Consider that Linux runs on various platforms which may have nVidia graphics cards installed. You cannot support all these platforms with a closed source proprietary driver all by yourself. I'm running Linux on a PowerPC platform (Apple PowerMac G4) with a nVidia GeForce 4 MX, see http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/Power_Mac_G4_Mirrored_Drive_Doors.html for details. The only possible way for me is the open source driver, which is a disaster! Please help by releasing specs and by helping the open source community with the programming of a truly open (source/platform) driver for your hardware!
I know NVIDIA is the best for the vga boards, but if you don't make your drivers free, I'll still choose other brands for my Pcs
I'm 9 and I like to play 3D games on GNU/Linux, so please free your drivers.
Please do the right thing for the continued dominance of your superiorly engineered video cards. We linux gamers have been paying your salaries and singing your praises above all others. We actually build our own machines, rather than settle for inferior products. Thank you for listening. :-)
I Think exactly = YOU CAN CHANGE THE FUTURE FOR ALLS Please, Make it
Thanks!
No restraints - Linux is about freedom!

The Future is OPEN
I have been usin linux/bsd for a decade now and bad linux drivers were my main reason not to buy an amd/ati graphics card and intel-cards doesn't have the hardware I wanted, so I have had nVidia-cards most of the time. But now I've strongly considerd bying an AMD/ATI-card for my next computer and I am probably not alone thinking that!
