They certainly don't. The following information is from memory and may
not be very accurate.
The following vendors sell the 68000 uP. There may be others. Note that
Thomson (sp?) and Mostek were originally two unrelated vendors, both
licensed to produce the 68000, but Thomson bought Mostek from United
Technologies. I'm not sure whether Signetics was a part of Philips when
the 68000 was introduced.
Motorola
Rockwell
Mostek
Thomson (sp?)
Hitachi
Toshiba
Signetics
Philips
SGS
