> Armchair analysis without the actual licenses and some legal knowledge aren't all that helpful.

I didn't claim that ARM lacked a case. My point was that acquiring another company's license is not in and of itself a "loophole", a word I find to be heavily abused. As you mentioned, the language of the particular licenses will dictate the outcome of this case. But as ARM has not as yet made those terms clear to the public, the most one can do is look at past behaviors and rule out certain arguments. My evaluation may change as more information becomes available.

And given the circumstances, ARMChair analysis is entirely appropriate.

No one is suggesting they cant sell their license to another company. ARM is only claiming those special deals, likely cost per core are only applicable to Nuvia and not Qualcomm.

[colechristensen]

Arm is suggesting that they have language in their license explicitly preventing sale of the license.

It would be irrelevant to the lawsuit, as Qualcomm have a license that allows them to create designs such as the one they got from Nuvia, to begin with.
