AMD's FSR 4 Open Source Mishap
AMD's accidental release of the FSR 4 source code under an MIT license raises significant concerns. This license allows unrestricted use and modification, complicating AMD's efforts to retract the code. The incident underscores a critical oversight, as the code includes potential support for older GPUs, suggesting broader implications for compatibility. - The rapid removal of the repository won't erase the digital footprints left behind. - Forked repositories containing the code remain accessible, increasing the risk of unauthorized use. AMD's position could be further strained if the community exploits this oversight for competitive advantage. This situation highlights the complexities of open-source licensing in the tech industry, as AMD navigates the fallout of this blunder. As developers await the next FSR 4 update, the ramifications of this mistake will likely linger. Long-term, AMD may need to rethink its open-source strategy in light of this challenge.
