uh huh.

you ever ask Nvidia why? i did.

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.
