My understanding is it is not much more than one of many ways to implement a digital logic. These days CPU makers choose to use this architecture is mostly because of market acceptance not because it is techonologically superior am I right? So the value of the license is in the market participators (who would incur prohibitive cost if they choose not to follow) not the inventor. Why should the MIPS continue to receive the benefit?
