> Agree on the rest, except that ARM obviously doesn't retroactively limit the license they gave to Nuvia, these terms were already part of Nuvia's license from the start.

The retroactive part is the concept of not being able to transfer the Nuvia IP.

> From the court-documents it seems that Qualcomm doesn't argue the interpretation of those terms, they argue that they should not be enforced.

Earlier you said the Nuvia license was void. Isn't the meaning of void that no terms will be enforced?

The license is void, the contract is still valid and defines what has to happen when there no longer is a valid license.
