Only the kernel "shim" is open source, well it also uses the in-kernel framebuffer driver to draw directly into.. To give you an idea of what we are dealing with, take a look at this: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/ti-sdk-pvr I try to copy the gpl bits from every sdk release, that a bunch of us can more easily patch the bits to later kernel releases's. In the case of the bone.. The 3.2 bits use the old frame buffer driver, and with 3.8/3.12 we are using the brand new and shiny kms driver..
