The IP/patents was doomed to expire anyway.
But hey they got a free PR stunt out of it.
Anyway it will be interesting what "non expired" patents they bundle with this. Mostly because of https://archive.fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/patent_exhaustion/ https://archive.fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/patent_exhaus...
which would allow people in the US to use these patents in any context as long, they derived their worked from an Open Source Power processor which got the patents exhausted and did not violate the Open Source license the processor.
