    What graphics card company has drivers with free license?

    We are going to buy notebooks for our company and as Nvidia graphic card drivers are proprietary I would like to avoid them and support a graphics card company that offers free open source license for their graphics card drivers. Are there any such companies? ATI?

    if you go with a distro such as ubuntu - the default drivers are all opensource. No need to go to proprietary drivers unless you need 3D support. With time - the opensource drivers will get much better.
