AMD's FSR 4 open source whoopsie-daisy may be harder to take back than initially thought, thanks to the inclusion of a difficult-to-revoke MIT license

AMD made a bit of an oopsie yesterday, as it accidentally released the source code for FSR 4, before promptly hauling it back again. Despite the course correction, it seems possible that it's too late to put the genie back in the highly technical bottle.

What makes this specific mistake notable is the fact that the release had an MIT license alongside it (via Videocardz). Effectively, an MIT license is a software license that grants very few restrictions on reuse or modifications. As is the point with something being open-source, using this software gives potential developers the ability to hone and refine what they've received.
