Something, something else...
Why not do like AMD did, and keep providing the closed driver while releasing hardware documentation? AMD's method allows porting of a working, well featured driver to any architecture, while ensuring top performance on AMD-certified configurations.

Note: since fglrx 8.43, AMD/Ati's Linux driver got much better, now being on par feature- and performance-wise with their Windows drivers (even better, in some cases). At the same time, a few FOS drivers are being developed to explore the capabilities of AMD hardware, and provide support for older GPUs - much better than Nvidia's current support for "older" (Geforce4 and older) hardware.
