If someone takes IP from OGP and makes and sells a competing chip
without following the rules, that is clearly NOT fair use.  It is wrong,
and they can be hauled into court and punished for it.

It is a copyright violation.  It is not "robbery" or "piracy" or
"child molestation", or "terrorism" or whatever emotional term
someone wants to label it with.
