I certainly hope that it is just speculation. I've never seen a CPU that was as much a joy to code for. I've done some assembly for various architectures, and nothing at all compares to the elegant, powerful simplicity of the ARM. Based on Oracle's treatment of Sun, it would be a crying shame for ARM's design team to share a similar fate. No one needs a world where "movsne r0, r1" is going to violate some Oracle license agreement.
