XGI previously had this problem, and I suspect VIA is having the same
problem now.  They want to release the code to their 3D driver, but it's
based on a version of the OpenGL sample implementation licensed from
SGI.  However, the SI has since been released under some sort of
open-source license.

My guess is that it wouldn't be a huge amount of work (though not
trivial either) to rebase the driver on the open-source version of the
SI.  Even if it only partially works, this would allow release of the
driver code without license concerns.

Just a thought...
