Were it not for the fact that we've been having the general open source discussion with intel for 24 years, and this graphics discussion for 10 years, we might believe that the claim of future open source is possible.
Intel did not take open source into account when Intel wrote this code; why would we expect Intel to take open source into account now? It's very easy to predict that the open source rewrite, or release, will never happen. Because there's decades of history to draw upon. I hope this explains a certain apparent disbelief on the community's part that we should take binaries now, and an open source version tomorrow. Because we know it won't happen. It seems pointless to accept a binary blob, in the short term, when we know there are only binary blobs in the long term. ron On Thu, Sep 7, 2023 at 1:50 PM Williams, Hannah <hannah.willi...@intel.com> wrote: > > It is not possible to open source uGOP today without re-writing it.
