Ultimately, most people will use the driver that gets merged into the 
kernel tree, but here is the upstream wacom kernel driver for linux 
source code:

https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom

Actually, I just found a page on protocol documentation:

https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/wiki/Wacom-Protocols

https://github.com/jigpu/linuxwacom-wiki-archive/blob/master/wiki/USB_Protocol.md

BTW, a least 2 of the main contributors are listed as being Wacom employees.

If Wacom ever did a binary blob linux driver, I'm not aware of it.  I 
think they did do that for Solaris and Irix though.

The world needs more weird mutant OSs.
