Re:Opening (Score 1)

I'm not sure that is true. nvidia's cuda c compiler does not open anything, and yet it allows me to write / run arbitrary c programs on my 8 series gpu. The culture in the gpu market is the problem. Those guys are paranoid about loosing ip to eachother. I mean seariously, they got into a fist fight last year! Tensions run deep. Hopefully Intel's offerings will continue to improve and put pressure on the big boys to calm down and open up.
