Nope. They could release them if they chose to do so. They're just
refusing because they haven't seen a good business reason for doing
so. Even Alan Cox agrees that in their position, it's not in their
best interests to release the source for their driver (or to provide
programming information to others). It just happens to suck for the
rest of us, and like Diamond and Matrox before them, they won't get
my business until they change their minds. Interestingly, both Diamond
and Matrox did eventually do an about face, and I've since bought cards
from both...
