I am not sure you are aware how many years of development time are necessary to reverse engineer a driver on mobile platforms.

For me that is where I draw the line, without drivers I won't touch it. I've wasted enough of my free time trying to get Cyanogen run on fucked up proprietary platforms.

If the drivers aren't open source, the company won't give a damn about the platform anyways because they already did not comply with the law of the license of the tools they stole (read as: linux kernel license) already.
