	As long as any of it remains closed, there will be speculation
it is at least modestly in excess of what is covered by various
contracts and NDAs (even after one factors in lawyerly caution).
	That may be a price a company is willing to pay (video cards on
FreeBSD being a rather small market) but it does provide evidence
for the avsolutists among us.
