Hmmm, you have a really odd definition of openly hostile.  As an open source 
developer I am in regular contact with developers from nvidia who support the 
nvidia driver on FreeBSD that they actively maintain.  OTOH, certain other 
open source projects have a known history of intentionally changing ABIs to 
break the nvidia driver.  I find that a good bit more hostile than the open 
collobration I've had with nvidia.
