Probably depends on your country's laws. Here in Estonia most EULAs aren't valid because pressing accept on those isn't legally binding.
What if we don't accept the EULA? Like why do we need to accept Nvidia's EULA to create translation layer of cuda?
You probably don't but it depends where you are. Reverse engineering software without permission isn't illegal in most places but in the US I'm pretty sure it is.
So its for reverse engineering it only? They can't restrict creating a translation layer if no reverse engineering is involved right?
No idea, I'm not from the US and don't know the laws beyond what I have previously looked up. Here in Estonia you can make the translation layer without accepting any EULA and even if you did it wouldn't be legally binding. You can alse reverse engineer anything you want.
Me neither is from us though
@FluffyPotato @zea_64 Nice haha.
