Future AMD GPUs To Be More Open-Source Friendly?

,----[ Quote ]
| AMD is on the heels of releasing the next set of GPU programming 
| documentation to aide in the development of the open-source R500/600 drivers 
| (xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-radeonhd). It's already been discussed what 
| this NDA-free documentation release will have, but one of the questions that 
| have repeatedly come up is if/when AMD will release information on 
| accelerated video playback. AMD's John Bridgman has now stated what they plan 
| to release in the video realm as well as a new requirement for their future 
| graphics processors: being open-source friendly while avoiding DRM.
