Closed CPU's and Fabs Untrustworthy

[juan.g71@gmail.com (juan)]

	so after some basic searching (showing how limited my
	knowledge is) I learned that 

	* sun designed (mass manufactured?) open source processors

	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSPARC	
	
	* sun was eaten by oracle (I knew oracle controlled java, I
	  never bothered to check why...)

	* fixed costs for having a modern cheap mass produced start at
	  2 million dollars?
