Probadly yes, because that chip is still selling by Texas and if you take some time to check homepage at TI instead of whine here you see there is a driver that cannot be distribuated and is not open! You have similar issues with Pandaboard, Beagleboard and also RaspberryPi if I remember right.

Same goes for some Intel embedded GFX chips like GMA500. And ofcourse NVidia and ATI.

Do never expect anything to be fully open source that will never ever happen...
