But is it even a second company (and thus a license transfer) if Qualcomm bought Nuvia?

- monocasa 2y agoIt could be. Rumor is Intel (or AMD in the same situation) would lose the cross licensed parts of their x86 license if they were acquired.
- philistine 2y agoWonderful, another albatross over the head of the x64 architecture.
- fc417fc802 2y agoI was wondering about that too. If I understand correctly, the Arm license includes a clause stipulating that it is invalidated if the company is acquired unless Arm grants permission.
- pests 2y agoIt makes sense. You wouldn't want to license something to a startup only for your competitor to buy them out from under you to get an advantage / bypassing talking to you directly.
