Hi Sanford, If your goal is to get this packaged in Ubuntu, then the recommended route to doing that currently is by getting it packaged in Debian. And for that, there's the debian-legal list[1] that might help you get Debian's opinion on the legal question involved here.
But, as always, different people (and therefore different projects) can often come to a different opinion when it comes to edge cases. The only thing that can say for certain is a court, and that's only if a rights owner takes exception to what you're doing and even then the outcome might differ depending on jurisdiction. So you could go with what debian-legal says for Debian inclusion, but have you considered just asking AMD for clarification and/or permission? Ultimately what matters is whether a given project considers it acceptable for inclusion, of course. If Debian agrees, then the default position in Ubuntu is to follow that decision and include it.
