I'd be surprised if no other company will produce them under Apple's license later on.

If I had to design a ppc board today
This phrase has sparked a wild dream in my head: Why don't we make our own PowerPC CPU? No, I'm not crazy, it's those guys with FPGAs and Verilogs who are crazy. Really, could it be possible, at least as an initial step towards fereing ourselves from the CPU shortage (that we chose ourselves, precisely)?
I've crazily wrote "opencores.org" in my browser, and the first thing I've seen there is... what's that, "

Sure, looks like a nice CPU family. But more importantly, it's almost the only one we can "choose"...
