From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't see evidence in the article that it even is 'their software' being discussed here - just a framework they are suggesting for compositors to have new functionality (regardless of GPU brands).
It even says "They aren't going into this alone but at this year's DisplayNext Hackfest it was also backed up by AMD for going a similar route."
