No, nvidia hasn't committed to making Linux drivers.
They've only committed to changing the way that they infringe the GPLv2 and giving that some "openwashing" and of course all the news sites eat it up and everyone believes that nvidia's drivers are "open source", even though there's still a bit far proprietary .elf that runs in userspace, same as a bunch of proprietary software that runs on the GPU.
