Well, no surprise, AMD's cooperation with Linux/Mesa/etc. devs is longer and deeper than Nvidia's. In fact, when Linus Torvalds was asked about how cooperative Nvidia are, he gave them the finger.

For all the flak they (rightfully!) get, a 1st party open source nvidia driver is in the works.

Altough it's only the userspace part and it's not compliant (yet?) to be upstreamed into the kernel. It is still something.
