Important parts of the two articles:
The CEO (Qualcomm chief executive Cristiano Amon) explained that Arm could work together with multiple chipmakers to purchase Arm. Amon said that multiple companies would need to join together in a purchase of Qualcomm in order to maintain neutrality. "You’d need to have many companies participating so they have a net effect that Arm is independent."
Park Jung-ho, vice chairman and CEO of SK Hynix is quoted as saying: "We are reviewing possibly forming a consortium, together with strategic partners, to jointly acquire it," He followed up by saying "I don't believe Arm is a company that could be bought by one company.”
As long as the consortium is open (as in rand - reasonable and non discriminatory) to any Arm licensee I'm actually fine with this approach.
