>For what claim?

that they have "essentially full control on ARM"

Having an ALA + some extras doesn't mean "full control."

he also says:

>And apparently in Apple's case, they get to be a little bit incompatible

So he doesn't seem to actually know the full extent to which Apple has more rights, even using the phrase "a little bit" — far from your claim. And he (and certainly you) has not read the license. Perhaps they have to pay for each core they release on the market that breaks compatabilty? Do you know? Of course not. A valid source would be a statement from someone who read the license or one of the companies. There is more to a core than just the ISA. If not, why is Apple porring cores to RISC-V? If they have so much control ?
