How do you not know that Intel has they same type of open source graphics driver like AMD? Their kernel module, OpenGL and Vulkan libraries are all free software, only requiring small firmware blobs. That's why Intel 'just werks' on Linux without having to download a 500mb kernel module or have a separate .iso available to download specific to the hardware.

That was a little rude. I have never read anything about these cards, thats exactly how. This article was the first thing. Drivers are mentioned once in the article, in a single sentence, not about the licensing.
