Are they trying to dismantle the entire Arduino franchise?

The fact that people can look into the source code and tinker with it made the platform everyone uses and now they're trying to capitalize on it.

Qualcomm is a comically-evil company. It's a giant law firm with a vestigial engineering department. When Larry Ellison looks at Qualcomm, he mutters, "Damn, son," under his breath, and you can't tell if it's envy or horror that made him say it.

This is the sort of thing they do. It always has been.

Dumb question. Do the T&C from the time of buying apply, or always the recent ones?

That's fine, I'll continue to not use it, then it's fine, right?

What's the motivation or "secret"? Is this to stop clones?

Secret is Qualcomms motto. NDA is us.
