Earlier this year VIA announced they wanted to join the open-source bandwagon by establishing an open-source driver development initiative, releasing documentation and source-code, and to better engage with the Linux community at large. They have made a few small steps over the past few months, but today they have made their largest open-source contribution yet by releasing four programming documentation guides that cover the video, 2D, and 3D programming for their Chrome 9 graphics processor. In addition, they are now partnering with the community-spawned OpenChrome developers.

You fail at life Adurbe.. just like Adobe fails at business.
I'll happily continue to 'fail' like a multi billion dollar company :-)
Indeed, if I manage to even get close to that level of 'failure' I'll be happy!
FYI incase there was any misunderstanding, Adurbe isnt a derivitive of adobe its the latin Ad Urbe
