Comments from Hughes here >

You're perspective is superlative, TJ, so I'm just adding Hughes' verbage, from CNET news >
.. (I do get the feeling that Rambus is more
confident, yet not so "superior" -- acting
more in control of its fortunes)

"While we have regarded Samsung as a valuable licensee of our patents for certain applications, a number of issues now exist that have made the renewal and expansion of the Samsung SDRAM/DDR license difficult," said Harold Hughes, chief executive officer at Rambus. "These issues have caused us to terminate that license prior to its scheduled June 30, 2005 end date. We continue to value our relationship with Samsung as one of the primary manufactures of memory using our XDR(TM) DRAM and RDRAM(R) designs. We very much hope that there is an opportunity in the near future to normalize all other aspects of our relationship as well."
