Just pointing out an invalid argument/tactic/position that has been commonly 
used in the past. With it exposed, I agree to drop it.

Think farther. From Google's position (and my own) the code is open source. :)
For the rest of the world it is closed. With ATI and Matrox it is open to the 
world like stock grade Linux. Nvidia's and Microsoft's software is closed.

That would change with the support and an endorsement from the Linux 
community. The LC (doesn't that sound cool?) writes code (and supports 
features) as needed. The ATI code can be seen as a starting point, with the 
community contributing code until all features are supported 

OR

ATI can work hard to support all of the features and focus marketing efforts 
on the Linux community. Either way, we all win with 
ATI/Matrox/opensourcevideocards. 

Support Open Source Video Drivers.
