Neither, I think. What law is there that says a company must
publicly divulge (let alone publish in book form suitable for
engineers) its proprietary designs and methods - none I think but
please correct me if I'm wrong.
Now, if Intel continues to labor under a disadvantaged business
model in order to "protect themselves" then that is another matter!
Sometimes it's hard to remember that the Open Source View of the
World isn't the only view of the world...
