Actually some interesting stuff, like the Japanese company they did the work
for had full rights originally, their (Intel's) marketers & management didn't
think there'd be a big enough market for it (estimated 2,000 microprocessors /
year max demand), etc.
And a nice break from the debian/red hat wars (almost as much fun as vi/emacs
;)
