Sounds *pretty* unlikely, in my humble opinion. I don't think X.org would accept it unless it was under an X-style license. And the last I heard, ATi weren't happy with open-source licenses because they thought they had "valuable intellectual property" in their source code. I should have thought we'd have heard if ATi was about to relax that. On the other hand, we might get better 2D support with ATi's help. On the third hand, I went a-Googling, and found a couple of Spanish-language sites talking about improved ATi support in 7.0. This points back to http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/ChangesSince68 , but it all reads as though it's normal open source development.
