Just say you don't know.

Mojo was partially open source before Qualcomm bought them, and they were going to do open source it anyway.

Was NVCC or CUDA ever open source since the lifetime of its development?

uh huh.

> Was NVCC or CUDA ever open source since the lifetime of its development?

you ever ask Nvidia why? i did.

> uh huh.

Exactly. You're one of those that don't care.

Mojo's standard library was open sourced a year before the acquisition.

> you ever ask Nvidia why? i did.

The correct answer to my question is "No". CUDA or NVCC was never open sourced during its lifetime.

Since you "claim" to have asked them and know the true reason why is not open source, just say what Nvidia told you verbatim right here.

Intel and AMD have no problem open sourcing their GPU drivers for Linux, but Nvidia has a problem with that.

We can only speculate that "open sourcing" it reveals their GPU trade secrets and their intellectual property for others to copy.

		I care, I just don't believe you in that statement. There were "confidential nda" notes embedded in the release that Chris didn't remove until afterwards. That doesn't scream: "we're going to open source this some day!" If it was going to "eventually" be made open source, why not do it from the start? Why not do it a year in? From what I was told, your speculation is incorrect. I can't say anything more than that, sorry. I don't know why you're so aggressive in tone towards me, chill out.
