AMD/ATI vs NVIDIA vs Intel

[Danny Piccirillo]

I was wondering about the state of open source graphics drivers today and
which companies are the most friendly. My understanding, and i'm hoping that
you can either confirm or correct this, is that: NVIDIA has linux drivers,
but none of them are open (there is a project for that but nvidia doesn't
offer open drivers themselves).
Intel has open drivers, but we all hate Intel for one
reason<http://pinstack.blogspot.com/2009/01/efi-hidden-threat-to-computing-freedom.html>
 or another<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface#Criticism>
.
AMD/ATI have opened everything, but it's taking us some time to catch up
