IF Oracle really did sign a contract that had it commit to continue
development for IA64 until end of sales, then that contract is binding.


My question is whether Oracle was really so dumb as to sign this or
whether this interpretation was made by the judge based on other
contracts such as the ugliness when Hurd got hired by Oracle.
