- dmm 11y agoObserve the @amd.com commits in this[0] driver supporting the latest AMD GPUs. Observe this[1] person who lists AMD as his current employer and describes his current job as "Working on open source drivers for Radeon GPUs." AMD employs kernel developers who write free software drivers for their GPUs. That's all I was trying to communicate. I have no particular knowledge of the actual business organization.
