Once upon a time ATI was completely free-software friendly, but that changed. That's anecdotal evidence that your warning is very apt.

On the horizon: an open graphics card (NewsForge) Posted Jul 21, 2006 20:16 UTC (Fri) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link] Well ya Intel isn't friends of open source any more then IBM is.
It's just a business opertunity and they are one of the companies that get if you want to have good Linux support you need to cooperate with open source developers. (duh) It's purely practical. (and for that I bought their hardware for my latest desktop.. and I'll probably buy their hardware for any new laptop that I would want.)
Intel on other fronts aren't so hot. They are one of the major proponates of DRM, for instance.
