"open-source API"
Typical journalist from "pro" site, for You.
APIs aint copyrightable (whatever any non-programmer could tell You), so they can not be proprietary nor "open sourced".
Just private/public.
Open as in Open Standard or closed as in developed by single entity.
So its "open API" which for now means "PR" or "open source TOOLS/LIBS", which would be nice. There is also chance that Mantle code is different from Catalyst, and AMD really want to make it open source down to the last driver bit. They already have MESA, so they have that skill set, and they have many times told us that they make each GPU gen more "open source" safe, from their "company secrets" point view. And that would play nice with AMD push for CPU like openess about what happen on GPU.
