Nvidia's used a source code obfuscator to submit their first driver to =

XFree86. Needless to say people weren't amused with it. It was originally =

put in cvs but kicked out after a few weeks. Then Nvidia backed down and =

released the non-obfuscated source code.

Apparently they were far from happy with that, since they never released =

source code ever again.

Besides, assembler source code would release a lot of info, such as the =

names of the GPU registers, which would make it much easier to understand =

their function.
