Would like your opinion, could I improve my approach ?

*Proposal: multi-OS multi-platform closed source module*

This post is a great example of how much NetBSD users love NetBSD but 
miss 3D acceleration.

To Nvidia: NetBSD code is known for its quality, correctness and 
portability. Having NetBSD developer(s) working on a NVIDIA driver 
(under an NDA of course) could benefit more than just NetBSD users ( 
read potential NVIDIA consumers ).

It could be possible that their portability experience could help 
defining a closed source module with an open source interface that could 
be used by all UNIX-based OS, that could be used over every different 
platforms that use PCI/AGP.

A description of the NetBSD driver development criteria:
http://www.netbsd.org/Goals/portability.html

I believe that under such conditions it's possible that the 
Linux/*BSD/Solaris communities almost support themselves in terms of X 
and kernel integration and new platforms like x86/64 while you stabilize 
your closed source module and focus your support into NVIDIA-specific 
stuff.

I really like the idea of a multi-OS multi-platform closed source 
module. If possible (I believe it is) it would provide a great example 
to the hardware market on how to support everyone without forcing them 
to Windows or providing your tech secrets


Please take this as a serious post.

PS: Of course could you can try to develop such a driver on your own, 
I'm just saying NetBSD developers would be willing to do it if they 
could and wouldn't mind a NDA at all. And NVIDIA would spend less human 
resources on such project as they're needed to support current drivers.
