Re:HTC Vive (Steam VR) is now available for pre-order by shazow on Monday February 29, 2016 @04:30PM (#11198703)
The API is open, the SteamVR-specific runtime is a binary blob.

Anyone can implement a driver, they have example driver code available. The documentation is here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr/wiki

The purpose of OpenVR is to create a common API for HMD drivers, so that other platforms can implement their own proprietary equivalents of SteamVR or what have you, and everyone's HMD drivers will be interoperable.
