Are you aware of all those "Total Conversion" Projects, which aim to
replace all this commercial data?
There have been hundreds of such projects, some of which might have made
it... Sure, most of them will have died by now; but maybe one or two
will really have been able to become a "true total conversion" as JC
stated... at least they will now have more incentive to do so.
Maybe this one might be quite ready:

BTW: The source has some drawbacks right now i fear:
As far as i could see it does not include the glx driver (which is the
only way to use all those nvidia graphics cards) but depends on an old
mesa version and svgalib.
It looks like it's the source of 3.19; whereas 3.20 is current; so there
are probably some known bugs in it?
So maybe it's most interesing as source tarball for developers.
