My sincere apologies for hitting Send before the download completed. I
did get the GMA500 driver at
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?lang=eng&DwnldID=19158
and it does not seem to include a source license, although does seem
to include a lot of source.
I might well be confused here, but if there IS an open source driver
release - which is normal practice for Intel - then I can understand
picking the PowerVR for an open tablet design. Even if it's not so
stable when under active 3D use. Reverse-engineered drivers inevitably
add instability anyway.
