Actually look at what happened when the probing part of the NVidia
driver was published: people looked at it and fixed bugs.
Opensourcing a driver can actually be a benefit for the company, since
they don't need to pay some maintainer for it then plus they won't
need to put up with problems after kernel changes and stuff and
neither with bugs in the code.
The problem is that people still think that there is intelectual
property and that it can be stolen. (The famous blackbird case (Yes, I
said the B word!)) But look at UNESCO: maybe one day the world will be
different.
