You should not always believe what you read in the press:)
Either Jeff Brown simply forgot or EA has some serious communication problems within their ranks.
When we started out on this project I contacted Richard Garriott which at that time was creative director for Origin and as such I would say it it safe to assume that he speaks the voice of the company as whole.
When Richard Garriott later left Origin I sent a letter to a Ms. Lisa Tensfeldt which works within EA's legal department. In that letter I expained what we was doing and our concern that we might now be violating EAs copyrights after Richard Garriott had left the company. As they never replied to that letter we felt it safe to assume that there was no problems.

As the main developer on the project I'll clear this up.
The site lists DirectX 8 as a requirement because that is the platform the game is mainly being developed for.
But when I created the game engine I made sure it was modular enough to support different platforms by accessing everything graphics, sound and input related through drivers. Already we have a first version of an openGL driver ready which seems to run fine and it is absolutely NOT out of the question that we will release the final game and/or the next techdemo for both Windows and Linux.
Of course we'll have to see what comes from this whole EA story..
