AMD will soon deliver open graphics drivers, said Henri Richard just a few minutes ago, and the audience at the opening keynote of the Red Hat Summit broke into applause and cheers. Richard, AMD's executive vice president of sales and marketing, promised: "I'm here to commit to you that it's going to get done." He also promised that AMD is "going to be very proactive in changing way we interface with the Linux community".

We have heard this in the past and I doubt anything has changed.
What we want to see is specifications of the cards so the different operating systems can write their own drivers under a free licence.
Only thing I see coming from this is drivers that may be open source but is full of magic numbers and only maintainable by ATI employees.
Open the specifications, that is the way to go.
