> There is no possibility of a rightsholder reasserting rights on IP they had previously released (like what happened with MIPS in 2019) What happened with MIPS in 2019? Shouldn't that kind of thing be impossible, the way it's impossible to revoke the GPL licence on software?

  Wow, they really wanted to kill off MIPS, burn their partners, and destroy any remaining credibility, didn't they? Astonishing.

    They saw the writing on the wall that MIPS was already dead.

      If this is true, it makes it even sadder that they killed open mips, which could have been a nice thing.
