So if your 2D API has to setup and use the entire 3D hardware anyway, it might make sense to consolidate that code together rather than splitting it out across multiple drivers.

Maybe you are thinking of open source flash replacements.

Funny how the bedeviled Mono project is actually safer/more free than beloved Java. Then again, anyone who knows anything about Oracle understands that they are far bigger assholes than Microsoft could ever hope to be. Arguably far more dangerous, too, now that they control MySQL, Java, VirtualBox and OpenOffice.

The patent situation in the mobile space has long surpassed the term "ridiculous". Everybody is suing everybody else and then some.
Luckily, they no longer control OpenOffice at least.
