I don't know then, amd and Intel decided to get rid of Zluda before that lawsuit ruled that apis are fair use. And now, their cloud customers are ok with using their own stack such as rocm, and Intel got rid of their Garuda ai chips. Those things also happened before the lawsuit was settled
It would be a breach of contract not a copyright issue.
