I am also interested in what they said, but I will say this. I paid
$100 for a video driver that is fantastic. I have excellent 3D support
and my display is quite good far better than the open source driver I
tried to use. To me it was worth the price.
I cannot speak for their attitude toward open source, however, I will
say they had excellent customer service and patiently answered all my
questions.
