Just a tiny little detail that might be interesting to anyone forming an opinion on all the pwc/linux stuff:
----------------------------------------------------------- The author of the pwc driver has publicly stated that this NDA has expired more than 1 year ago !!! -----------------------------------------------------------
Despite this he refuses to release the source code for the binary-only driver. Of course it is his right to do so: it is his code. But I think it is important for everyone to know this fact.
