Ronald(?) signed the NDA, and the AMD knowledge he used to write 
that bit of code is covered by the NDA.  So Ronald (or anyone else
who had access to the AMD documentation under NDA) cannot legally
make that bit of information publically available.

On the other hand - if someone who did *not* sign an NDA with AMD 
could figure out how to write that code, then they would have met
the legal definition of reverse engineering, and are not prevented
from making that same information public.

Go for it! :)

Of course, the ideal would be to get AMD unhinder this bit of code...
