Really strange guy.
1) He yells about money but ultimately forgot to provide reasonable ways to donate him (e.g. paypal button, Bitcoin address, etc). Even if there was bunch of people interested in libre ARM driver and they're willing to donate, he would never get donations because... er... it's almost impossible to do. And if someone really short on money, they can offer to do some work for some money on places like kickstarter. If I remember, someone like TArceri did it and it worked for some MESA features. But then you have to clearly explain what you're up to in ways people can understand it.
2) Then he yells about code ... without releasing it. Hmmph, really strange idea. It appears like if there is full channel of persons who can potetially help. Yet they can't since there is no code. I guess its wrong to blame #dri-devel people for being uncooperative and selfish, then?
3) Historically Lima driver had really strange goals and overall, its project management appears chaotic and completely random/hard to understand to me. With some weird goals I fail to understand. I can understand MESA driver. But some PoC stuff which only runs some Quake with some custom pre-compiled shaders? Err, that's what looks really odd to me. Then it's probably wrong to blame companies and contributors, no?
And hell, opensource is not about writing some polished cool shit and throwing it on our heads. Its all about cooperation and collaboration.
