RPi Foundation have just (10 hours ago!) announced a 10000 dollar bounty for whoever manages to get an open-source GPU driver working first. http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/6299 earlier the same day, "Broadcom announced[1] full documentation for the VideoCore IV graphics core, and a complete source release of the graphics stack under a 3-clause BSD license" That only leaves the problem of having to develop a free open-source driver in secret so that someone else doesn't steal your work and clain the 10000, thereby losing most of the advantages of open source development...
