How to do Embedded Linux [not] right
Problems (chipmaker)

Patent licensing schemes
e.g. MPEG patent license doesn't at all work in a FOSS model
Technology licensing schemes

Everyone in the industry has those very same problems
Chip makers should cooperate to present their case together to the respective licensors
