Quoting: fabertaweThis looks great and for free too?

Is this likely to fall foul of copyright? At least it's out there in the wild now.
SEGA are generally pretty great on fan games, as long as they're not for-profit.

Nah, this was done to patch up a few things for the potential new public coming from the Amazon series.
Yeah, exactly. It's mostly a maintenance patch for all the new players, and it's a pretty old game now too.

Former Nouveau driver lead joins NVIDIA and sent a massive patch set

Quoting: FremenThis is bad news. Can likely lead to the Noveau Driver not being developed properly anymore. Perhaps its Nvidia's way of "shutting down" development on the open source driver with seeming like it is.

Why would they send lots of patches then?

I also lean to them enabling the free driver at least for good AI performance. Don't know if they care for graphics performance here in the same way though.

To be fair this is something that companies like Microsoft are famous for. It's even got a name, "Embrace, Extend, Extinghuish"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish
But that makes literally zero sense in this context. What are they going to extinguish exactly? They're contributing to make their open source driver better - it's exactly what we want.

Yeah, these weird conspiracy theories need to stop.

Update 18/04/24 15:11: there seems to be an issue with the licensing at the moment. The MIT license was not meant to be up on it, as this was apparently the default GitHub put on it. That license has now been removed, and so there's now no license on it. Hopefully this will be sorted soon.
