Obviously, every single GPU company has a fuckton of patents. Not having them is a recipe for being sued by everyone else.
That's only true for NVidia and that's because they don't want to put the work in (They do plan to make it work on Linux though just not on pre WDDM2 Windows).

There is absolutely nothing locking multiGPU support to windows 10 other than the willingness of IHVs to support it.

Typo, meant MR, or mixed reality.

Valve offered to donate the name OpenVR if it was needed, but it was decided that since the API will have uses outside of VR (i.e. AR and IR) the more generic name was more appropriate.
