IDK, the MIPS announcement was worrying to me. IIRC it's only open for 'MIPS Open Registered Companies', ie. it's open in that they're open to the idea of providing source to the normal customers they have, sort of like Microsoft has ways of giving companies, governments, and academia the Windows source.

The dude who bought MIPS is a sales guy who I don't really think understands open source.

It'd be awesome to be wrong about this though.
