This is a large reason I am a huge supporter of RISC-V over ARM and x86. RISC-V is open sourced. ARM is a licensed product, even Apple has to pay for a license. That's too much power for an industry to have.

@chiefgyk3d Arm was co-founded by Apple, and as such they have a free unlimited architecture license... |
@chiefgyk3d riscV is only an instruction set architecture
Specific implementations as processors are still licensed, and those licensors can cancel licenses to chip designers also
