    Sun's new UltraSparc/OpenSparc T1 processor has been freed (as in freedom) and the architecture is now distributed under the GPL. There has already been one fork of the architecture, according to the article, which is a 1 core (as opposed to processor.

    thats pretty cool.

    i however don't have any way of making tweaks on something like a 64bit multicore processor, nor the know-how.
    i don't even think that there is any place in my country where anyone could do such a thing....

    but it is still nice to see that Sun GPL'd it, and not released it under a more restrictive licence like they normaly do (CDDL).

    i'm sure india and china will find great use for something like this
