I think that you'll find that Intel acquired this right from DEC. When Compaq bought DEC it didn't want to acquire the DEC fab or want rights to develop the ARM, so Compaq struck a deal with Intel and sold the Fab and the rights that DEC had with the StrongARM to Intel. and Intel agrees to fab the Alpha chip for Compaq.

The acquisition of the DEC fab in Hudson Mass was part of the settlement between DEC and Intel when they were suing each other. In an cash settlement, Intel got the Hudson fab, the development center and engineering teams plus multiple product lines etc. In short, Intel took DEC to the cleaners. They also agreed to continue fabing the Alpha but that's not done anymore.
