ISA Power processor: OpenPower Foundation introduced open license model
In August the OpenPower Foundation had announced the release of the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) of the POWER processors of IBM as open source. Now the license model was introduced: In future chip manufacturers are allowed to build and sell their own Power kernels under the free license (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, CC BY 4.0) without having to pay license fees to the OpenPower Foundation. Two example implementations called "Microwatt" and "Chiselwatt" are also provided.
