these days the most successful MIPS-architecture cores seem to be other companies' designs.

Why in all that is holy would sgi ( thanks autocorrect! ) of all company's invest in a technology strategy that almost killed it three times already? Ok, I was being charitable, it did kill it.

Ah! So SCO/whatever it is they're calling themselves now could buy it and it would fit right in with their business model.
Don't discount the idea of somebody doing the exact same thing they (or someone else) did before that resulted in failure. It's a surprisingly popular methodology.
