> Maybe this means that in the near future, Wayland/Weston could be run with closed source drivers, too. IIRC Weston uses EGL to talk to hardware, doesn't it?

Yes, it's entirely self-contained within EGL. Wayland already runs on a number of platforms with closed-source drivers (including, but not limited to, OMAP4 support being at least as good as any other platform).
