Joseph, it seems to me that it should be enough to hear that Richard
is willing to apply his own personal time into this business area. He
already exists, is making his own way in the world, has a demonstrated
level of competence, and is asking for very little by way of help in
order to invest a serious amount of his own time. Would you imagine
any rational person would do that, without any prospects of evidence
or belief that the time will pay off??

It seems that Richard may have more confidence in the future of this
processor than ARM's own people do.

If I were Richard, I might be a little offended at the suggestion that
I might have such bad business sense and hadn't already found that
there was customer interest in the new CPU core before committing
myself to the idea of fielding a new target for my compiler tool.

I know you aren't marketing or sales here. And I'm only yelling at
you because you are here to hear it. You cannot do anything about
this. But it does shock me to the core, Joseph, that ARM acts this
way towards a legitimate compiler vendor. (It's the kind of thing
that makes me wonder if they have a personal axe to grind in the
compiler arena or hidden associations they are trying to protect.)

I see no excuse, none, for Richard to have experienced what he has
from ARM, enough to say, "I asked several times for NDA and info but
to no avail."
