A bit off-topic, but the legal battles between Lexra/MIPS and
picoTurbo/ARM have both ended with a complete defeat of the
two cpu-clonig companies (Lexra and picoTurbo). Both companies
have been shut-down and their clients transferred to MIPS/ARM.
Some info can be found on www.lexra.com and www.picoturbo.com.
Not much details about the deals are provided, so if Lexra/picoTurbo
were bought off or sued into submission is not clear.

More than ever, I'm happy with the decision to go SPARC .. :-)

(and many thanks to Sun and SPARC Int. for the open license!)
