    and, perhaps more critically, some Chinese GPU makers from utilizing CUDA code with translation layers.

    Like that ever deterred China from violating copyright claims to trademarks. Maybe if they’re huge companies that want to export, but if they’re just making in-country chips, especially if it’s useful for the Chinese government, these companies are not going to change anything based on some license warning

      See I don’t want China to win, I just want evil corporations to lose. I hope they ramp up the “fuck your copyright” shenanigans more tbh. Really stick it to them as hard as possible. Is an evil corporation in another country stealing technology from a different evil corporation in a different country really the best way to fight this? No. But it still causes bad people to lose money which in the end is what matters.
