when i said "control" i was referring to the architecture itself, not the 
source code around it.  the Blackfin architecture has a single licensee: the 
people who own it.  it isnt like arm/ppc/mips/etc... which licenses out the 
core for other people to make derivatives and their own weird extensions.
