Intel breathes a sigh of relief as the spotlight moves off of them for a beat.

    Yeah, that’d do it. Although, again, it looks like the restriction wasn’t in the NVIDIA licensing wording until recently. IANAL, but you it both parties are required to agree to contract changes; if AMD’s contributions were all pre-wording change, they merely need to dust their hands; it’s OSS. Why are they doing NVIDIA’s dirty work for them?

    I’m not convinced.
