No, patents.

So I still don't quite understand patents,

Does it forbid someone from selling the intention? Making the invention? Can I not even make an invention for personal use if it's patented??

I think you can generally make one, but it has to be for personal use and you can't ever sell it.

is amd having support on the linux kernel counting as selling?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

No but it isn't for personal use. You likely wouldn't be able to get the specs to do it for yourself either though.
