> they actually still hold DEC's ARM license.

Does that give them modern ARM processors or just the ones of the time?

It's an ISA licence, so they're allowed to design their own processors that implement ARM, but they would have to design them themselves (which is why they haven't)

Actually, through their Altera acquisition, they must have design licenses for a number of recent Cortex-A variants as well, since a number of their FPGAs have ARM cores.
