In the Linux kernel, at least their DRM implementation, VC4 is used for 2D for both VideoCoreVI and VideoCoreVI. For 3D through Mesa, VC4 is used for VideoCoreIV, and V3D is used for VideoCoreVI. 3D Mesa drivers for VideoCore IV & VI are available at https://docs.mesa3d.org/drivers/ and are permissively licensed. NetBSD for arm actually has VideoCore kernel module drivers in its base, https://wiki.netbsd.org/projects/project/vc4/. It's permissively licensed, but may have issues with 64bit architectures, so the source may need to be troubleshooted and compiled for 64bit. This comes with vchiq and vcaudio. There's additional userland VideoCore libraries for NetBSD through pkgsrc, http://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/raspberry_pi_gpu_acceleration_in , but these may be in 32bit. Thank you
