Re: "What are you talking about? Intel does *not* own the Alpha design, Digital (now Compaq) does. Intel is on the hook to make Alphas for Compaq, as a foundry, to the extent Compaq needs them (Compaq can always go to Samsung or someone else if/when that becomes beneficial). Intel doesn't even have the right to sell Alpha chips to anyone but Compaq, let alone owning or having any influence over the design."

While you are correct that Intel doesn't own the Alpha design, I believe they do have a license to it. Not absolutely sure though.
