 best guess - and this is pure speculation - is that they developed it
themselves rather than pay license fees for someone else's hard macros
and test vectors.  the test vectors are what makes these hard macros
very expensive to license.  you saw that report on slashdot recently
that patent licensing is now approximately *doubling* the cost of
smartphones?
