> Apple: If you document the hardware enough for the Asahi team to deliver a polished Linux experiene, I'll buy one this year!

They probably can't do that because of potential patent issues that might surface.

Lawyers say no.

That’s highly unlikely, releasing the product counts as a public disclosure which would start the clock on filing.

You are thinking of the other direction.

I'm talking about competitors like e.g. Intel/AMD/nVidia who could browse the documentation and find potential infringements.

In fact what Apple's legal department forgot is that the Asahi team could enable just that.
