Don't you think that Intel would have cleared the license issue with the Q before purchasing DSP? It seems to me that some sort of agreement or understanding would have necessarily been in place as part of the deal. Otherwise, Intel takes too big a risk that the license issue will not be resolved after it invests in DSP. Result: A really bad situation. I agree....However the only direction that the licsensing fee will go is up. If my calculation of a 12% royalty on DSP's sales is correct....I wonder what Intel will eventually have to pay? Anybody have any ideas how the Q would structure a license for a chip that would eventually be incorporated into a laptop? I dont think that the box-makers would go for a 5% off of the top royalty....though it never hurts to dream <g>. Slacker
