Oh yes, this cat-and-mouse game has been going on for more than a decade. But despite that, for any given time and license terms, there is a type of CPU that is optimal for performance/licensing costs, and when the license is as expensive and widely used as it is, it makes sense to sell CPUs for that specific purpose.
