Hope so. IP is rent seeking and should be abolished. Or china might as well demand everyone pay IP for firecrackers or paper. India, middle east, ASENA, africa, etc should steal as much IP as they can and develop. Just like china did. Just like the US did. Just like everyone did.
Should Russia also do the same? Going back a year, would a similar statement apply to Russia too?

The bigger question is, does it violate any patents? Not necessarily intentionally, but because there's only so many ways you can build a GPU and (almost) all of them are patented already. Apple themselves failed to build a GPU from the ground up, so it's actually difficult.
> does it use any stolen ip? > The bigger question is, does it violate any patents? The former implies the latter. On the other hand if the IP isn't stolen but would still fall afoul of the patent then I would argue that the patent is wrongly provided. Patents don't exist to protect obvious implementations. I'm not a lawyer but we all know patent law is all kinds of fucked up.
Isn't it the reverse? Patents are one of the several forms of IP that one can violate, so the latter should imply the former.

Who cares? Intellectual property frankly makes no sense if you don’t worship money.
It makes sense if you have one scheme that creates that is choked out by a different scheme that copies instead. Eventually there is no creation.

Should all software be licensed as public domain or the closes available to PD in countries that don't allow public domain software?
Software is a lot less important than patents. Patents should not be allowed or should expire in a year.

Patents incentivize inventors to publicly disclose how their inventions work. They publicly disclose how their invention works and in exchange are given exclusive rights to it for a limited period of time.
This is predicated on the idea that in the absence of such a system, inventors have strong incentives to not disclose how their inventions work, which ultimately slows the spread of knowledge and puts a damper on innovation.
What parts of this do not make sense? How else would you solve the problem of incentives around disclosing how technologies work?
Is "Moore" of the company's name is the "Moore" of Moore's law? If so, I wonder why one would name his/her company after their competitor's founder.

It uses GPU IP from IMG commonly known as PowerVR, the same technology powering current Apple's GPU and some Mediatek SoC. And IMG the company is now wholly owned by Chinese Private Equity Fund. The fund acquired IMG when Apple claimed to no longer be using any of their IP and caused their market valuation to drop by more than 70%.
