Basically, from what I read, this means that other companies can produce
competing chips which implement the Power ISA, without requiring a license.
It is more likely that the Sun will become a supernova than IBM would
"open" the IBM z ISA.
did the competition (amdahl & others) had a "license" to produce
mainframes ?
