While the WINE project relies on testing windows software to see what windows api calls are being used, and tries to mimic them, the Nouveau project actually knows the entire possibility of what can be sent and what calls are and are not implemented.
I would guess that the Nouveau project will eventually succeed in a very ambitious project. I see no reason to believe that wine will ever succeed, that target keeps moving, and is not easy to define.
One thing that I don't get from the article is if the suit against the officers has also been settled. The appeals court said they had no reason to suspect their actions were legal, no matter what their bosses told them, and could therefore be personally sued.
Quoting from the apeals court ruling: "The presense of probable cause is not even arguable here."
I wouldn't want to try arguing a similar arrest was legal when the court uses language like that in it's ruling.
The court didn't say that they didn't find the police officers arguements unconvincing, they more or less said get a clue.
The police were told that it did not matter what their boss told them, they were still guilty of violating Gilk's first amendment rights, and could be personally sued for it. Which should put a chill in law enforecement officers making those types of arrests.

Pulling one example, I was asked to see if I could recover the password on pdf to allow editing. IIRC, the cypher was 256 bit AES. When trying to find the password to edit a pdf, my really ancient dual core athlon64 took under 2 minutes to try every unique word in the OED.
The password of the pdf (which was sanfrancisco2) took me about 15 minutes to find using standard password dictionaries. Theoretically, a 13 character password with a number in it should take an insanely long time to crack, reality was well under an hour.
I have a friend in the middle of a lawsuit. She didn't have the $100k in up front costs so she is representing herself (I know civil, not criminal, a different world, but some lessons still apply)
In her first two court dates in front of a judge she got to say next to nothing and was just ruled against.
In her third filing she put in a bunch of citations about the rights of self represented litigants, and the duty the court owes them.
The same judge that more or less didn't let her talk in the first two hearings, bent over backwards to make things fair, and when she had not prepared a notice, ordered the Lawyer for the other side to draw it up for her.
The moral, judges are used to lawyers telling them the law, and therefore if you want a judge to respect your rights, you have to explain your rights to the judge, and why the judge has to respect them, otherwise its, "Next case. We have a lot get through today".
Some of your statistics are a little contradictory though.
He also says that violence, vigilantism, and anti-heros in movies, TV, and video games also provides this training to break the natural conditioning not to kill one's own species.
Followed by:
the aggravated assault (attacks with deadly weapons/attempted murders) has stayed steady or increased.
The minimal increase in aggravated assault coupled with a lower murder rate reduces the likelihood of the the theory that visual images break down natural conditioning.
Furthermore, the military doesn't seem to put much weight on visual simulation, but rather "servicing targets" that are plausibly human. The interaction seems to be key.
Those who are violent enough to kill are a pretty small number, percentage wise. And nobody would blame a solder for shooting at a soldier that was firing at him.
Being able to deliberately kill a fellow human being is a somewhat rare ability.
My favorite text book was my Differential Equations book that had the answers on the right hand side of the page. Not that it helped all that much except you could try and work from both directions to figure out what theorem to use.
Somebody should make a computer program which generates homework questions. That way you don't have to worry about students finding the answers, and you don't have to worry about mistakes in the answer pages (assuming the program is done correctly). If you did fancy stuff, you could probably have the computer generate word problems as well. You could probably get a computer to generate problems all they way up to highschool math.
I did that when I was tutoring k-12 grade level students.
They were all sort of shocked when there were no answer sheets. (I got a lot faster at basic math those three years.)
As a bonus, the kids accepted that it really is possible to just know the answers to grade school math problems.

Are you dealing with java, python, C, C++ applications or something similar? My experience with RHEL/CentOS has been the opposite of yours, to say the least.
Rails and php are horrible on RHEL and CentOS. You can get them to work, but compiling from source in the FreeBSD ports collection is less painful than trying to find set up a current rails stack. As far as php many people seem to give up on the rpms and just compile from source to get at least the upstream upgrade path.
RHEL 6 has php 5.3, which isn't too old, but php 5.4 is out, and for the longest time RHEL was shipping php 5.1 when php 5.2 was considered the oldest legacy version of php that most opensource php projects were supporting.
Ruby packaging for RHEL is painful.
RHEL 6.0 is actually not a self hosting OS, as the CentOS people found that there were packages that only built on Fedora. (perl libraries IIRC)
Overall, I can't understand why one would use RHEL, unless you were using closed source software that was only guaranteed to run on it. Gentoo, Debian, and FreeBSD (I know it's not Linux, but it is open source) seem to be less work, and more consistent and more stable.
RedHat contributes a lot of code to the community, and is overall a good community member, and I can understand running Fedora to see what Redhat is experimenting with, but to me it feels like sort of like the lack of stability in debian sid, paired with the age of debian stable. (not a fan of "enterprise" operating systems in case you couldn't tell)
Although it is possible that the other source was the tires from the vehicles.
I have never seen an explanation of tire and asphalt wear that seemed like it accurately explained what is happening to the rubber compounds in the tire, as the road does not build up, but rather wear down.
The emissions from gasoline engines in modern motor vehicles is amazingly low, so tires and lubricants might actually be noticeable. But this is just speculation, sort of like the conclusions of the report.
Well there you have the problem, he spent 8k which wouldn't cover what I can see of the top of my head:
Three depositions of police officers 2k per deposition = 6k
Depose ex wife 4k for the attorney to learn all the dirt, 5k for the deposition(two days).
Expert testimony on the drug use 10k
Document preparation 1-2k
Trial/arbitration/administrative hearing preparation 4k per day.
Figure 20 to 35k up front and then another 20k to deal with the fleeing out of state when she picks up the kid to visit them. Yes, American legal services cost that much and it is why most people get screwed by the courts. Division of assets and exploration of assets could easily add 100k to the legal bill.
Many (most?) judges think this is a serious problem that undermines the fabric of Americans society, but nobody really knows what to do about it.
Limited representation is suggested as a possibility, but there are lawyers that are barely getting by, and partners at large law firms that think that once you take a case you have an obligation to not tell the client, "oops sorry you don't have enough money to get justice, good luck" but rather see the case to the end and hope that the client can pay some how. The only thing that is clear is that the American legal system is dysfunctional.

The appeals court did rule that the officers could be personally sued, but I don't know what became of that.

The apealls court claimed that the police officers position was "not even arguable" Ouch.

Considering the current litigation climate in the US, GPLv3 seems like it would be a necessity to maintain anything to do with audio or video.
ImageMagick has essentially the same anti-patent clause as GPLv3 attached to a BSD style license.
It will be interesting to see if ImageMagick style licenses pick up in the communities that use BSD style licenses.
It is fear of GPL 3 and the anti patent troll provision.
Which matters if you are a patent troll.
