"Last week we had published The Truth About ATI/AMD & Linux, and to no real surprise, the feedback ranged from beliefs that it was propaganda to others being grateful that AMD finally shared some additional information with their Linux customers about the fglrx development cycle. While the article was far from being propaganda, what had outraged a number of open-source developers were AMD's comments on the R200 support or there the lack of. In this article, we have a few additional comments to share along with what some open-source developers had to say about AMD's information."

Nouveau is not using any nv code
That's not true. DDX part (xf86-video-nouveau) is based on nv driver. If you don't believe me, you can look at any source file and read copyright info (for instance http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau.git;a=b... ). Nouveau developers were deobfuscating nv source code (it's still in the TODO list -> http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ToDo ). More information here -> http://airlied.livejournal.com/34017.html
