Google & Open-Source ATI/NVIDIA Drivers

,----[ Quote ]
| Will Google ultimately have any influence in open-sourcing the ATI 
| and NVIDIA binary blobs? Or will they be further embracing projects 
| like Nouveau and the R500 reverse engineering? No further action on 
| Linux graphics drivers / proprietary drivers was taken at the Linux
| Foundation Collaboration Summit or during the Desktop Architects 
| Meeting 4 (DAM-4).

| The released code is definitely not yet ready for the normal users, 
| but it's the big step ahead nevertheless. Especially having in mind 
| how ATI (now owned by AMD) has not provided specifications of their 
| hardware to the open source community.
