Broadcom Explores Deal to Acquire Chipmaker Qualcomm

This would be my concern. Qualcomm is trying to buy NXP, who make a whole load of really great chips and microcontrollers (including everything made by Freescale). If the Broadcom attitude eventually makes it down to the NXP divisions, it could really ruin a good range of products.

Lack of diversity! What happens to the Rpi and Librem 5 foss-friendly communities if Broadcom buy Qualcomm who buy NXP?
