ATI vs. nVidia -- Terra Soft's stance.

[Dan Burcaw]

The "SRPMS" just are binary code wrapped with an rpm .spec file
so you can roll it into an rpm.  That doesn't mean source code is 
included.  They *may* include a small source that will link
their binary code against your kernel revision, but the actual
driver is not open source.
