> I don't know why GPU manufacturers are so paranoid.

I've read the reason for the paranoia around GPU drivers has something to do with modern GPUs needing so much controlling software in the driver that the competition could glean details of the hardware design from the driver source code.

I'm unable to find the source of this information. Can anyone privy to these sorts of details confirm or deny this?
