This does not look good for OpenGL / DRI.

I assume that xfree86 doesn't use anything affected by these patents,
otherwise it wouldn't be able to carry it's current license. Is this
correct?

some valid points, tho perhaps in an overly vigourous fashion. :-)

Let me toss in my 2 cents.
The problem is that DRI development has never reached critical mass in the
open source world. There was a time when there were quite a few developers
working on DRI related projects a PI or VA but much of the design
discussions
were private and people couldn't eaves
this is actually sufficient for me at this point.

I think microsoft is trying to kill DRI. It is a big threat to all their products. If
the open source community can offer good 3d graphics at low cost then their system
will suffer a good loss in market share.
