IBM Gives Away PowerPC; Goes Open Source
Want to Design Your Own 64-bit RISC Processor on the Cheap?

That may be of interest to any list reader who works with software
simulation of that architecture.
It adds PowerPC to OpenSPARC and RISC-V as `user-implementable' CPU
architectures. However, without massive production volumes, and
within the limits of current semiconductor fabrication technology,
they may be meaningless in practice. At least there is mature
compiler technology available for all of them.
