Nvidia released open source drivers in 2024.
Which are barely more than a first step as they are just the bare minimum with everything else being proprietary and pushed to userspace.
I think you have that backwards...

No doubt, but where does the documentation explain that? It's not totally surprising that the firmware would remain closed source for now.
Regardless of the fact that firmware and userspace components are still closed source, this is still an improvement for the Nvidia + Linux relationship.
