While every comment here seems to scream "end patents", arm has less patent bs than other tech (rounded corners) meant to sue/prevent use. Arm works hard on developing and improving architecture and designs to offer licenses at a compelling price. Qualcomm paying as much as other licensees should be preferable to Qualcomm than bankruptcy.

Qualcomm paying as much as other licensees should be preferable to Qualcomm than bankruptcy.

Not saying this is wrong, but where do you get it from? The article just states that ARM considers Qualcomm's acquisition of Nuvia a breach of license. Both companies held ARM licenses before. What's the issue with such a purchase?
