Reading on Wikipedia, manufacturing x86 chips requires a license from Intel for more advanced features, the 64-bit variant of x86 also requires a license from AMD. Is this really possible?

    I keep watching RISC, running a lot of ARM stuff now expecially with Pis using it, but getting out of the licensing mess altogether seems like what we should all be aiming for. Plus it’s getting more advanced, and there are more things compiled for it, even RISC repos for distros designed to run on the chips.
