I don't think anyone can answer that question.  I know I can't, at any 
rate.  It all depends on how important Linux is to the different 
vendors.  You may not believe and/or like it, but those that take it 
seriously are probably more likely to release their own drivers, which 
are more likely to be closed source than open source.  Of course, I 
don't really want to get into a philosophical debate on the matter, but 
a dose of reality every now and then helps, I think...
