Even if you start from scratch, buy replacing the drivers with your own implementation, you still have to obtain the technical documentation for each chip. This can lead to signing of multiple NDAs. Recent example for this mess was the Neo Freerunner Glamo chip. They never managed to obtain the complete documentation for that chip (at least legally).
