AMD started delivering on their word of providing GPU specifications to the open-source community without a Non-Disclosure Agreement, and now with the 2007 X Developer Summit having come to a close, we asked several key members of the X.Org community on
how they judge AMD's recent move. They were also asked if they believe NVIDIA will follow suit in helping the open-source community. Those that responded were David Airlie, Daniel Stone, Jerome Glisse, Stephane Marchesin, and Oliver McFadden. Mark Shuttleworth had also previously
commented on AMD's efforts.

Hopefully AMD's efforts will show other hardware manufactures (not just of GPU's) that providing docs for their hardware is a viable option.
Hopefully Nvidia will follow soon. After all, they had the grip on Linux users to far. This could change _very_ fast.
