> Linux is open source

Open source does not mean, "any code accepted here!"

> if the kernel developers desire better designed code, they are free to change the code up to their quality levels.

They are also free to reject bad code and demand that if you want you code in, you should improve it.

I don't get this mentality at all; why should the kernel developers accept inferior code and then improve it? Isn't that the responsibility of the vendor who designed the product? After all, AMD is a for profit company, not a charity. Why should the other developers provide charity to make AMD code better? So that AMD can sell more units or have better PR? What?

>The problem is that they don't fit the taste of the kernel developers.

That's not the problem.

The problem is that the drivers were designed for Windows, not Linux and such code is not suitable for inclusion in the Linux kernel.
