I know it's a widely circulated claim, but I haven't seen much evidence
for it.  The link you posted above says "Sophie maintains that "inspired
by" isn't the right choice of words."  In which case I suppose
"knockoff" is even less right.

I'm just genuinely curious exactly which features of the 6502 and ARM
instruction sets people think are so alike?  Please, name specific
details!
