>>Wasn't PPC supposed to be an open architecture? So, theoretically, couldn't Intel (or AMD) decide to build and continue to develop, PPC chips?<< I think you're mixing up PPC with PPCP. PPC = PowerPC - the chip PPCP = PowerPC Platform - another term that was used for the CHRP = Common Hardware Reference Platform The only way Intel or AMD could build PPC chips is to license the right from the PPC group (IBM, Motorola, and Apple) or from IBM only (I'm not sure which of the two holds the actual right to license).
