I disagree. I haven't checked lately, but I believe: (1) the rights to SPARC are in an independent, open organization, see: sparc.com (although I don't argue that Sun doesn't have a major influence, as an important member of the organization and probably the largest user of such chips). A list of members is available at that site. (2) I don't think TI is the only manufacturer (as I recall one of the Japanese semi makers, perhaps Hitachi, does as well); and (3) others sell or have sold SPARC based systems (e.g. Auspex, Tatung, Tadpole, and Cray -- while it was independent and as part of SGI). JMHO.
