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.
