The core issue is that some people do not want to see this code in mesa in whatever form, because they're afraid of lawsuits. Rumour has it that VIA told them that they would sue. And the same things happened with SGI for the float patents by the way. So blame VIA and SGI for their anti-oss behaviour instead. For example next time you see a motherboard with a VIA chipset, think twice...
The SGI situation is slightly different.
