I don't buy this. See: AMD and Intel both have open source drivers.

I'm not sure what there is to buy. Just because AMD or Intel managed to do this doesn't mean it's any easier or cheaper for nVidia or Arm. AMD actually has been sued before over this kind of thing. Why not just save yourself the trouble and effort of making an entirely legal and safe open source implementation when you can just keep trucking with closed source?

Maybe they are the aforementioned rights-holders :)
