I'm not sure who own the MIPS rights at the moment, but if i recall, it was SGI at some point. @ssj: I believe the issue is that it's not the China that is destroying the industries, but the industries itself, that move their labor into China. Atleast this time the competition would be "fair". And besides, Intel already has a number of manufacturing units "abroad" (such as Vietnam and China) and are making more of them, so it looks like even without outside competition from China, Intel would eventually be closing its domestic units. @Squilliam: Why make open source programs? In any case, there's a huge sales potential in China even with high piracy rate, and China will eventually get the piracy rate down. |
Open source = free. Why make something if you can't sell it?
Tease.
