>That's completely arbitrary and I think we all agree that licensing issues like this shouldn't exist.
We don't live in a perfect world, and never will. Truth is, you can't do anything about it, because x86/x86_64 is cross-licensing hell.
>That's a good thing and they should make it free.
Annoy Intel lawyers about that. And when they open x86, go to AMD for x86_64.
>Such as?
Issues with competition stealing your parts of your architecture, custom optimizations for selected workloads. Generally it would be a lawsuit madness for anyone involved.
