They would never have made it FOSS if AMD didn’t have their stuff FOSS aswell. Nvidia should start supporting FOSS drivers as well as AMD does.
Technically they are not FOSS, just open source.
FOSS stands for “free and open source software”, and in practice, free software is almost the same as open source, so I don’t get why you say it’s open source but not FOSS. Don’t you mean source-available?
FOSS also involves licensing software so that modifications remain libre in the foreseeable future. Same reason why Android or Chromium might be open-source but aren’t exactly considered FOSS.
Nope, tons of non-copyleft licenses are considered free software even by the FSF, so they fit both the open source and free software definition, which makes them FOSS.
Also, take into account that FOSS is not a thing by itself, but rather a grouping of software that meets two ideologies: open source and free software
The AMD drivers? amdgpu is licensed under the MIT license, which is FOSS by my standards.
I think he is referring to Nvidia.
AMD open sourcing stuff made Nvidia panic :)
Yep.
Is it this https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/NVIDIAImageScaling?
I think it is the Nvidia Image Scaling link.
