SoftBank owns ARM, with a pending sale to Nvidia. I doubt owning the Acorn trademarks and back catalog has any effect on that relationship.

Apple has a perpetual royalty-free license as a result of being an ARM co-founder. It wouldn't be too surprising is Acorn had the same arrangement.

I think you're mixing ARM up with PPC. The AIM alliance was Apple/IBM/Motorola and granted them access to the tech.

Apple pays ARM for an architectural license, just like any other company.

No, I meant ARM.

ARM was created as a joint venture between Apple, Acorn and VLSI.

SoftBank is very hands off, and the sale to Nvidia appears to be kaput.
