It appears that AMD/ATI might actually be following Intels lead and moving 
toward open sourcing their drivers.  See

The anouncement is not as clear as I would have liked but AMD does have a 
history of supporting open source through their work on the Linux kernel and 
this is a good sign that at some point we might start seeing open source 
drivers for AMD/ATI hardware.  In addition this may put pressure on nvidia to 
open up either their driver sources or their hardware specs.
