TechRepublic reports
on the opening of the POWER instruction-set architecture. “While the
POWER ISA was itself licensable following the creation of the OpenPOWER
Foundation in 2013, that came at a cost. Now, the POWER ISA is available
royalty-free, inclusive of patent rights.” The OpenPOWER Foundation
is also being folded into the Linux Foundation.
