I always thought that Nvidia's presence in the Khronos Group was a farce. On one hand they were vendor-locking as much as possible at the expense of the industry, and on the other they were "contributing" to the open languages and protocols.

Dirty secret of "open" source: it's a strategic collaboration between big vendors. It's very rarely someone's hobby project. Almost all Linux changes come from hardware vendors.
