Has anybody (Sun) actually asked 3D Labs to open their graphic cards drivers source? Because 3D Labs are no longer in the business of producing graphic cards, and I do not see why they would not do that if asked.
If they did it would only make good publicity to their name.

They are still in the business of producing graphics devices, just for
the embedded market instead of the workstation market - why would their
customers in that market be interested in whether or not they released
their IP for SPARC workstation users?
