If it's possible to get an eventual legal judgement against them, perhaps instead of paying x-billion dollars in fines, maybe they should be forced to make their future work open source.

1) They aren't going to have to pay a fine 2) This would just screw the shareholders, making the stock worth less 3) Open source doesn't have the people, skills, or finances to utilize Intel's internal design data - the only beneficiary from this would be other chip manufacturers and nation-states. I'm not sure who this would benefit?

I was thinking the benefit would be the ability to audit it, but yeah, not going to happen.
