Yes this is very sad as well as strange behavior and typical for 
European management. They are all in the thinking that they have to get 
payed for everything that are developed in house. They don't have the 
vision to see that they get a much bigger return by putting the 
information out in the open and let others improve it. The LPC family is 
the best I have seen for many years (I'm actually mainly a PIC user) but 
knowing that this type of old thinking still exists in Philips makes me 
hold back from using them on all major designs. I talked to a rather big 
Swedish company last week and they liked the LPC more then the 
competition but selected the AVR ARM instead because of the same 
reasons. And in that case we talk about a lot of pieces.

I really hope that a company like Philips that so often show technical 
excelens could mature and show marketing excelens to...
