Sun Microsystems seems to be following in the footsteps of IBM in continuing with its program of open sourcing processor designs to foster a community of developers who can build applications optimized to the processor as well as create derivatives on it.
OpenSPARC T2 RTL designs follow an earlier release of T1 design by Sun Microsystems.
The designs will be available at opensparc.net. There is a big difference between open sourcing hardware as compared to software. Silicon chips are much harder to manufacture.
