That’s an argument for software licenses. My NVIDIA GPU on the other hand is hardware I own.

But is the hardware even any good without the NVIDIA firmware baked inside?

Or, is adding some firmware/software enough to impose shitty licensing on de facto hardware products, like printer cartridges or Keurig cup things [0]?

If not, where do we draw the line? Luckily, it seems that people hate this kind of thing.

The EULA is for software (=the driver)
