From my understanding the x86 license is not transferable upon purchase.

I wonder about the other x86 licenses that have been out there in the past. Via still offers x86 apparently. It looks like Cyrix ended up with Texas Instruments. Transmeta looks messy. IBM used to make x86 chips as well.

And I wonder if any of this relevant to making modern x64 compatible cpus?
