This is very likely. They may not have even outsourced any work: just purchased a license for some "IP": a software library, some microcode, a cell library (they may have gotten that free with the chip but still had to sign an NDA). The terms on some of those licenses are sometimes broad and nebulous. -- John Hasler jhas...@newsguy.com Elmwood, WI USA
