5:16 AM EDT 		XGI simply handed a copy of the sources to XFree86 and X.org instead of messing around on their own.

It's also worth noting that XGI released the source for their 2D stuff within a couple of months of going to market, but VIA and before them S3 have been in the market "forever" and never before released anything serious.

Now all I have to do is find a WestOz dealer for their cards.
