Those public docs, once so helpful, are now mostly useless. The important
content is not there.

This is why I tell people, 'Don't get tricky'. Tell Intel from the beginning
what you are doing, and that you intend to release code, and do it in
writing. make sure there is no confusion. Get permission.

Then there are no surprises or bad feelings at either end.
