That isn't the way I understood the deal. I thought Intel just had the rights to manufacture as opposed to ownership of the patents, etc... Can someone out there explain the deal? I'll check my latest literature from Compaq. It might have explained it.

I thought that DEC sold their Alpha chip to Intel
No - DEC sold Intel their chip fabrication business, and also gave them the right to manufacture the chip along with Samsung, and soon IBM and AMD. Don't confuse manufacturing the chips under license from DEC with owning the design - DEC owns the design.
