I know it's a widely circulated claim, but I haven't seen much evidence for it. The link you posted above says "Sophie maintains that "inspired by" isn't the right choice of words." In which case I suppose "knockoff" is even less right. I'm just genuinely curious exactly which features of the 6502 and ARM instruction sets people think are so alike? Please, name specific details!
