Altera has taken a licence from MIPS Technologies for the MIPS32 processor architecture. According to MIPS, it's the first time that its technology has been used in an fpga.

Altera licenses MIPS32 processorAltera has offered a range of soft processors in the past, including ARM and Freescale cores, along with its NIOS core. But the MIPS architecture should allow it to offer a wider range of products to communications customers.
Art Swift, MIPS' vice president of marketing, pictured, said: "We are excited that Altera is employing the MIPS architecture to offer a wider range of solutions to designers. This license has the potential to broaden MIPS' user base, expand our already broad ecosystem and further proliferate the MIPS architecture."
