Someone could reimplement CUDA for AMD hardware. That would be legal because copying APIs for compatibility purposes is not copyright infringement. (See Google LLC v. Oracle America, Inc., 593 U.S. ___ (2021)).

AMD is unlikely to do this, however, because it would commodify their own products under their competitor’s API.

A third party could do it though. It may make sense as an open source project.
