Nvidia DLSS Source Code Leaked

i hope this might offer the feature for AMD cards, or something unified so that this feature could be utilized in games without having specific hardware.

Apparently, DLSS means "Deep Learning Super Sampling".

How? Nvidia's lawyers will be all over that shit. Not AMD and no respectable OSS devs will touch it, nor will GitHub or any other reputable platform host it. It's legally radioactive.

Nintendo's HDL and source code also leaked from a hack a couple of years ago but given how litigious Nintendo is, nothing came out of it despite everyone expecting some emulators to pop op.

Can the nouveau project make use of this without ending in legal hot water?

if anything - it makes it worse. The code is untouchable for any serious company or even open source. If you need references see what WinNT/XP code leaks did to Wine project.

It's called "don't ask, don't tell" and "parallel construction".

The roadblock for nouveau is that the chipset won't allow the clocks to be set to performant frequencies unless the NVIDIA-signed binary firmware blob is uploaded.
