The published binaries are for Linux.
But is this source code also for Windows?

At
https://www.heise.de/news/AMD-gibt-proprietaere-3D-Grafiktreiber-fuer-Linux-auf-10438121.html
the german IT news side Heise have written about your graphics driver.

They wrote, that there will be in the future no longer three AMD driver for Linux (Radv, Amdvlk and a proprietary driver, based on Amdvlk), thee will only be Radv.

But it seems, that on the other side the Windows driver will still be based on Amdvlk with enhancements.

Is it planned to publish bring both drivers (for Windows and for Linux) more together, that they share as much code as possible?
And is it planned to publish the source code of the Windows driver, too? And publishing on the GitHub-repo where the source code of the Windows-driver is, also the Windows binaries?

If Windows and Linux have completely different AMD graphics driver, then will also running some programs on Windows better. And other on Linux - only because of the different driver.

I know, that it haven't to do with graphics cards, but AmeNote have had for some time also created a MIDI 2 driver for Windows under the MIT license. And thesy have spend it Microsoft:
https://github.com/microsoft/MIDI

So you could also publish your driver for Windows as OpenSource - side by side to that for Linux.
