Over a year later, AMD is bringing improved FSR 4 upscaling to its older GPUs (arstechnica.com)

FSR 4.1 running on RDNA3 or RDNA2 GPUs may take a bigger performance hit.

What do you mean? They've released code for their kernel drivers under a permissive license: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules

If you mean the vulkan, OpenGL and cuda drivers, I don't think that's going to happen, no. But people are already making those on top of the open-source mesa driver framework

Open-sourcing the user-space components, like you corrected.

AMD fully embraced open-source as a key part of its Linux strategy. Their amdgpu kernel driver is a standard part of the Linux kernel, and the user-space OpenGL and Vulkan drivers are the open-source Radeon and RADV drivers included in Mesa.

AMD has a "it just works" experience.
