============
"An AMD engineer has inadvertently revealed that their Windows
Embedded graphics driver is ported from the open-source Linux driver.
AMD China last year began porting the open-source Radeon Linux kernel
driver to Windows Embedded Compact 7, rather than using their Windows
Catalyst driver. The resulting WEC7 driver for Radeon GPUs is
proprietary, but that's allowed per the MIT license that the ATI-AMD
Linux driver code is provided under."
============
AMD居然宁愿将Linux版的开源显卡驱动移植到嵌入式Windows中,也不使用他们自己的闭源Windows PC
显卡驱动,这是为什么呢... 想不通,求解惑!
移植后的嵌入式Windows显卡驱动是闭源的,不过这是合法的,因为开源的ATI-AMD Linux驱动使用了MIT协议.
