All the big manufacturers cross licensed their patent portfolios. I don't think anyone could have built anything otherwise. As to why they didn't copyright the instruction set, they couldn't and it probably never occurred to them to try. The first copyright on software of any sort was issued in 1964 (to a law student to did it to see if he could), and the idea that you could copyright something as abstract as an instruction set didn't come up until Lotus v. Borland in 1996.
