Last time I had to find in-depth documentation on a fairly common and new SONY image sensor, there was nothing available officially, found it in some chinese file sharing site though. Seems like they are shooting themselves in the foot by not opening it.

I think this may be some bigger market fixing situation - only big and already established corporations would get documentation preventing any competition to emerge.

They could easily control it by selling chips to big players only if they want.

I am not sure if that would be legal. Many countries have provisions against market fixing.
