Unfortunately, history cuts both ways here. Qualcomm licensed modem vendors for the first decade plus of its licensing program.

FWIW, here is ETSI's IPR policy. I assume that this has been unchanged over time but I dont know that for a fact.

etsi.org

6 Availability of Licences


6.1 When an ESSENTIAL IPR relating to a particular STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
is brought to the attention of ETSI, the Director-General of ETSI shall immediately request the
owner to give within three months an irrevocable undertaking in writing that it is prepared to grant

irrevocable licences on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (“FRAND”) terms and conditions
under such IPR to at least the following extent:

- MANUFACTURE, including the right to make or have made customized components and
sub-systems to the licensee's own design for use in MANUFACTURE;
- sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of EQUIPMENT so MANUFACTURED;
- repair, use, or operate EQUIPMENT; and
- use METHODS.
The above undertaking may be made subject to the condition that those who seek licences agree
to reciprocate
