We are currently serving that and other closed blobs from Nokia repository at tablets-dev.nokia.com , so at least that will be available also later.

We are discussing about lisence model with TI at the moment, as that piece of sw is lisenced via them for OMAP hw. I don't want to speculate what the end result of those talks will be, but we do know the problem that you are talking about.

As far as understand, it only depends on kernel driver that in turn is open source, so it should be relatively easy to maintain also in the future.
