Not so.

From http://mirror.ati.com/support/faq/linux.html :

Linux Drivers for ATI products

    ATI actively assists qualified 3rd party Linux developers writing
        software for the majority of ATI products by providing them with 
        development kits and information.

    We have also made every attempt to provide hardware 2D acceleration
        for all shipping products and will continue to assist XFree86
        developers with their work.

3D Graphics Acceleration

    ATI has made the necessary hardware and programming information
        available to Linux developers for the development of hardware 3D
        acceleration.

                             Open source 3D drivers should be available

DRI Project.
