Re: "If memory serves, Intel did not license MMX to AMD. AMD filed a lawsuit against Intel. The result of that lawsuit was that AMD was allowed to use the TERM "mmx", on the theory that the term is merely letters of the alphabet and not protectable."

My memory is that AMD intended to use the term and Intel threatened suit, AMD backed down and licensed something (what?) from Intel. Cyrix chose not to get a license and developed their MMX capability independently.
