    No it's not, anyone can get a license to create an ARM chipset but you do need to pay for a license.

    I still don't understand. Is it like RHEL (they give you all the source code) or more like Windows?

    It's neither. It's a specification that you can use to build your own chip.

    So it's more like MPEG where you can read the doc and create your own implementation.

    Too technical; didn't understand. I prefer RISC-V at this point

    How can you have a preference if you don't understand?
