For reference, here&#x27;s the full text of the settlement(at least what was filed publicly with the SEC)[1]<p>It appears during the settlement they made a new patent cross-license agreement, which is not public of course. The new agreement is what is alleged by sources to have expired in 2015, which is what would allow AMD to license their IP to third-parties. It could also be that the patent agreement is more lenient than before, because at the very least it expanded to include at least one third party in the form of GlobalFoundries. If that is the case though, one wonders why this hasn&#x27;t already happened.<p>1.<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sec.gov&#x2F;Archives&#x2F;edgar&#x2F;data&#x2F;2488&#x2F;000119312509236705&#x2F;dex101.htm" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sec.gov&#x2F;Archives&#x2F;edgar&#x2F;data&#x2F;2488&#x2F;000119312509236...</a>
