Well let me ask you all something. How does this differ from Microsoft and the Bill Gates empire? Does not Bill Gates extort money from companies for his "licensing"? Has he not withheld technology from other companies via products he as bought out and then licensed to them? Who remembers the browser wars of the 80's and 90's. Does not Microsoft own licensing for just about everything running Windows and can they not pull licensing at any time thereby potentially destroying a companies product just because they don't like it? Frankly This move doesn't worry me too much. Yes the ARM processor technology is in everything mobile but how is that so different from the Intel giant and the licensing of the Pentium chip?
