It must be noted that there are also hidden threats for AMD opening specs. If enthusiast programmers will find these specs useful for brining better open source drivers to the community, then rival companies may find it as a good chance to compromise DRM path and bury AMD's business by leaking some decryption program into the Internet. Even software companies producing source-closed operating systems may be interested in this. No good hardware with open drivers - no good truly open Linux distributions with solid 3D support - no users switching to Linux, especially then AMD's closed drivers for Linux really suck for WINE gaming imo.
I have two RV670 cards I bought only for AMD's open source politics and like most of you I don't want this company dead. We just have to wait.
