Yes, I had seen that.
>agreement
and
>access to the Arm architecture.
Is vague language that could mean about anything.
E.g. it could mean RAND ("reasonable" and "non-discriminatory").
Namely, the parent specifically claimed:
>Apple has a licensing deal with ARM through 2040
The vague language is insufficient to support the claim.
- klelatti 2y agoNo. > we have entered into a new long-term agreement with Apple that extends beyond 2040, continuing … Apple’s access to the Arm architecture. Clearly says that the agreement continues Apple’s access to the Arm architecture beyond 2040. That’s what a licensing deal is. This is an important disclosure. Any attempt to pass something less than a licensing deal with this wording wouldn’t get pass the lawyers.
- snvzz 2y agoIANAL. With that out of the way, That's not even a contract but a public statement. A lawyer would wipe her ass with it. We do not get to see the actual agreement, and this "access" could very well mean the RAND I mentioned, i.e. that they won't be arbitrarily denied a license. Incidentally, the key word "license" is remarkably not included in the language used.
