Sorry, I didn't make the connection over the paragraphs and took it the wrong way.

The principle of not mingling closed and open source software, might be important to you. It is not even what I would call a principle to me. It is something to strive for though.

To me, the principle of choice is more important. The ones not releasing either source, drivers or docs and/ or trying to stop open source alternatives with lawyers are a much bigger problem. And that's where we where 7 or so years ago when I first tried linux. I don't see nvidia's drivers poiinting in that direction at all.
