Would you still be willing to pay for it if there was an open source
driver from Happauge available?

The last time we talked about this was here:

At that time the beta driver was tested and shown to work, but was a
bit rough around the edges.  Why would a commercial company go through
the hassle of retailing a third party driver?  As a business venture,
it doesn't make much sense.  At any moment they could be completely
undercut by a first party driver.
