I don’t know why I find it. Absolutely hilarious that Nvidia, a company currently in the AI business, notorious for not giving a shit about copyright, or just straight up going to Anna’s archive.
Would be really nice if AA during the deal was able to get docs from Nvidia like they did with music from Spotify. Like source code that could be used for drivers on Linux or older cards that aren’t updated anymore. Schematics would also be fun to see. Not really for AMD, Intel, or some of the larger Chinese homegrown companies to use. But for people that do hardware repair.
Obviously drivers wouldn’t be able to be offered by the distro repos or the major FOSS drivers for legal reasons. But maybe separate patches that could be applied to the less functional FOSS ones by the user. Maybe help with some of the projects that use software to make non-Cuda cards able to run programs that would require modification to run without Cuda. But I know extremely little about that outside of knowing the exist.
Since Nvidia is fine with getting pirated books, seems like they would have a fun time trying to sue for code piracy. None of the above is easy and straight forward, just would be funny to see happen.

Nah, it’s pretty simple actually. If the archive doesn’t exist at all, they can’t even steal from it.
