Test1,

I like your ideas, but I think they would require lot of people/time to get
so many/big companies involved.

used on CPU. If OpenRISC is succesful and the demand for the product
increased, perhaps this will bring increasing demand for various metal. The
mining companies are large scale companies: Placer Dome, BHP (Australia),
Normandy, South African, Canadian companies etc.

demand for IC making equipment will increase significantly. Perhaps the
company can bundle a free OpenRISC mask set with their machines, therefore
the customer can begin the production of OpenRISC as soon as the factory is
finished. The customer can also use the OpenRISC mask set for "testing /
trial production" phase. Example of companies that manufacture IC making
equipment: Applied Materials, Advantest, Hitachi, Tencor, Teradyne, TEL,
Ulvac etc.
