Why would NXP sponsor a hobby project by a Huawei developer?

"Why would anyone be interested in sponsoring a 68k"

"Why would NXP sponsor a hobby project"

Hard to think any good/sane business reason.

So they need to act insane, like we do?

Is that too much to ask?

@all

Not exactly a FPGA, but imagine being able to plug inn a Killer NIC into a Vampire. At least you can run Quake really fast.
