Line 145:
Nvidia's Unified Memory driver (nvidia-uvm.ko), which implements memory management for Pascal and Volta GPUs on Linux, is MIT licensed. The source code is available in the Nvidia Linux driver downloads on systems that support nvidia-uvm.ko.
In May 2022 Nvidia Announced a new initiative and policy to open source its [[GPU]] [[Loadable Kernel Module]]s with dual [[GPL]]/[[MIT license]], but only new models at [[Software_release_life_cycle#Alpha|alpha]] quality. But said "These changes are for the kernel modules, while the user-mode components are untouched. The user-mode remains closed source and is published with prebuilt binaries in the driver and the CUDA toolkit."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-releases-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/|title=NVIDIA Releases Open-Source GPU Kernel Modules |date=2022-05-19 |access-date=2022-06-07}}</ref>
