Re: ATI / fglrx?

About NVidia: that is correct to the best of my knowledge.

Also, about fglrx, last I checked, it does support Composite, and it does support GL, but not both at the same time forcing you to choose. Normally, users will elect for GL, since you are reduced to using Mesa if you enable Composite.

Not sure about the ATI rumour, but when companies release the source code, they usually try to clean it up somewhat to ensure they aren't accidentally releasing IP that they do not own the rights to... think of the big delays in opensourcing java, for example, or star office :) A driver is a little smaller, but the principle is the same.
