How does the GPL prevent them from making money? Sure, I have essentially the source code of someone&#x27;s processor, but unless I have millions of dollars to fabricate a chip, the source&#x27;s only use is to learn how things work.<p>Intel, if they wanted to, could release the source code of their microcode for their processors under the GPLv2 and not provide the signing certificate (like TiVo did), and all people would be able to do with it is study it. What am I gonna do with the source code of a processor? Build an emulator? I already have the instruction manual...
