AMD: It's time to open up the GPU

I find it unfortunate that there is no mention of the license of the various pieces of code on gpuopen.com. The only way to find out is looking at the repo on Github. Some of it seems BSD licensed, while other parts are under custom non-free licenses.

AMD: It's time to open up the GPU

All of the newly released code is supposed to be covered by the X11/MIT license - I didn't check them all but the first half-dozen or so looked OK.
It's possible that some already-published code with a different license was also linked from the main page, but the ones I recognized (eg DirectGMA) had new licenses as well.

Anyways, if you see any that seem wrong let us know (my username # amd.com) and I'll get them checked. Thanks.
