Combjelly, Compaq and Intel made licensing the Alpha processor non-exclusive in order to avoid trouble with the FTC. If AMD wanted, they could license and manufacture the EV68 and other current Alpha processors. However, it says nothing about Alpha patents, or if Alpha IP has suddenly become publicly available. My guess is that it has not, and the open license is for manufacturing current Alpha processors only. It is not for using private Alpha IP to design future microprocessors. That's the way I understand it, and competitively, that's all that makes sense. You're free to offer an alternative view, though. wbmw
