No, they haven't. They have released bits and pieces under NDA, but never actual complete docs. That's the problem. Maybe you should have listened a little closer to the "flak" to see if it was actually legitimate problems.

I wasn't nearly as involved in Linux news at the time, and it's too late to go back and change that now. Apologies for not knowing the complete details, and I'd appreciate it if you'd link me. Been having trouble finding the historical details.

ATI has released (almost) complete specifications at this point, NVIDIA has released nothing.

All you get is register dumps. Compare the ati and intel info on that site. Intel has released full docs. Ati has done as little as possible to be able to say "we released stuff" for publicity purposes.
