The EULA for mbed says "ensure that they are licensed for use only as part of Software Applications and only on microprocessors manufactured or simulated under licence from Arm" https://os.mbed.com/eula/

It is confusing though as the code mostly appears to be Apache, not sure if it is just parts that are constrained by the EULA, but it is clearly not intended to be ported to RISC-V or MIPS or whatever.

That EULA is specifically for the ARM RealView compilation tools, which are proprietary AFAIK.

You don't need any EULA to use any of Mbed's stuff, it's all Apache licensed and can use any compiler.
