. Intel sued AMD over the 80386 when AMD went ahead and copied it. AMD's defense was that they had a second source agreement with Intel that allowed them to copy their chips. The judge agreed, and Intel retreated and licked it's wounds. Combjelly you are hardly capturing the events that transpired and this is far more complicated that you think. I don't want to go into the detains here but to present Intel's perspective let me just say this, who would happily continue to give their designs to a deadbeat partner who makes 100s of $millions$ off your work and has nothing to give in return? Would you continue to do this forever or do your think there might come a time when you questioned the wisdom of continuing such a lopsided relationship? EP
