Well, there are several open-source processors,
most notable the "OpenSPARC" from Sun which is an
open-source UltraSPARC T1 multicore CPU.

For more examples, see this page:

Wikipedia has a whole lot of open-source hardware
listed:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_hardware

(On the statement print "42 monkeys" + "1 snake":)  By the way,
both perl and Python get this wrong.  Perl gives 43 and Python
gives "42 monkeys1 snake", when the answer is clearly "41 monkeys
and 1 fat snake".        -- Jim Fulton
