External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Freescale Semiconductor. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20120104025802/http://motorola-videoleadership.hosted.jivesoftware.com:80/community/motorola_heritage/stories/motorola_on_the_moon to http://Motorola-videoleadership.hosted.jivesoftware.com/community/motorola_heritage/stories/motorola_on_the_moon

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

History

The history section gives no indication of which achievements relate to Motorola and which relate specifically to Freescale Semiconductor. For example, the MC6800 and MC68000 mentioned herein are routinely described as being Motorola processors (and if so don't belong on this page).

I feel that the reference is appropriate. Freescale was spun off in it's entirety, and Motorola did not continue in the field. So the only company to inherit the legacy was Freescale. Also note that they still hold the patents, so the history is, rightfully, theirs. Bobsd (talk) 22:53, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

In that case, it should say that Motorola combined all their semiconductor divisions with the Freescale division before spinning it off. Otherwise, by this argument, the MC68000 was now developed by NXP. Acquiring or inheriting the rights is clearly different from developing something. 2602:306:CEAE:E60:1886:6B3A:15DC:3883 (talk) 17:44, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
