Nice try, Qualcomm.

Some context for people who haven't been following recent the recent Qualcomm/Arduino developments: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/11/arduinos-new-terms-o...

I saw this the other day. I’m not sure exactly what the concerns are, nor why Qualcomm deserves any shade. I don’t know much about Qualcomm, but at least on the face of it, they’re keeping Arduino alive and infusing a lot of cash and expanding the platform, and they’re also keeping the board designs fully open source. It seems reasonable (and probably necessary in today’s world) to have terms on the cloud services. Arduino’s website itself was never open source, the chips they’ve always used aren’t open source. And it was Arduino’s decision to sell to Qualcomm, right? Why should the cloud services be open source?

Qualcomm trying to kill what makes Arduino so successful and then wonders why no one is hyped about it.
