While I think contributions to opensource software all in all is a good thing, aren't this kind of sponsored projects sending the signal to Intel and AMD that companies are rewarded for their opensource-hostile strategies rather than condemned?

The nouveau team has been doing great things lately, and we all know the reclocking is the big ticket item holding back adoption.
The vendor drivers may be good enough for you but I hate all the extra effort it takes to use them, and the periodic breakage that comes from them. Try using an alt. Kernel and it only get's worse. Another pending issue is xwayland support.
I am excited by this work, even though my current card is one that is reported to already work with the existing reclocking effort.

i care

For me, as long as the hardware performs the way it should (or close enough) and if I don't have to pay extra to make them work then I'm satisfied. With AMD the situation is a little different - their catalyst drivers aren't that great, so its nice having an alternative that is quickly improving. It feels like the radeon driver progression has been slowing down a bit but I have a good feeling that they're working on something big. They've got a good team.
