I think allot of you are missing the point here, this is not about who gets to deliver the cpu of the OLPC, or any other hardware for that matter. If it was, why wouldn't Intel be making upgrade kits for these pc's, faster cpu's, more memory, improved NIC's, better graphic cards, heck, if they wanted to, they could've made replacement motherboards for upgrades. I'm sure Mr. Negroponte and OLPC would have been fine with that. Intel where even invited to make the OLPC-2, witch, if they won the deal, would have filled their coffers and made loads of money for their shareholders for the foreseeable future. Intel would have made a killer by doing what they're good at namely making chips. Even if they weren't affiliated in any way with OLPC, they still have a vested interest in the success of OLPC. The reason is that it would introduce kids to computers, that other ways would not have access to the technology, and in turn make the demand for hardware increase in the future.
So, why don't Intel go for that, what could be their motive?
I can only speculate, but doesn't anyone see a connection through the classmate PC and what software it runs? OLPC is running open source software, Classmate is running proprietary software, since the software doesn't care what chip it's run on, the only loosers would be the software companies not included in the OLPC. Today that unholy alliance is lead by a convicted monopolist, who is scared shitless by the thought that all the kids in South America, Africa and Asia are going to get their education on computers running free software!
For a monopoly it's corporate suicide to let that happen, and in a true monopolistic way, they (M$)convince (pay) someone else (Intel) to do their dirty work.
The key word is distribution, whatever you do with GPL'ed code is up to you, if you distribute it to others, with or without payment, you have to obey by the GPL by releasing the source. I.E. you can not sell/take credit for other ppl's work.
