But Q can terminate it right. Would they? And who thinks they should or shouldn't? It does strike me that this is the idea, to have someone else do all the manufacturing. The problem is that if dsp, intc, does a better job, then q loses revenues from chip sales. Why not pull the license. Forgive me if this is a dumb question.

Off topic - Florida hurricanes / orange juice futures prices. In case anyone reading this is both interested in Qualcomm AND considering screwing around with orange juice futures since it looks like Hurricane Irene might slam right into some major Florida orange tree acreage ... Based on some limited knowledge about this stuff, I just want to pass on a warning -- if the hurricane strikes, but does NOT have strong enough wind speed to wreck the trees, then the heavy rain which will definitely accompany the storm will actually increase the "yield" per tree. The oranges love heavy rain. It tends to make each orange larger, juicier, and with a better mix of acid / sugar (which is considered (I believe) in deliverability specifications for the futures contract). Jon.
