This cross license agreement was with Spinco, NOT Qualcomm. Not that it necessarily changes anything, but I read this differently. The QCOM press release said: QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM) and Texas Instruments Incorporated (NYSE: TXN) today announced that they have entered into a cross-license agreement....The companies have agreed to enter into a comparable agreement between TI and Spinco (the temporary name of the entity that QUALCOMM has announced will be spun off as a separate and independent entity) that will allow Spinco to supply integrated circuits for all wireless and wireline applications. I read the word "comparable" to mean that they entered into 1) a QCOM-TI agreement, and 2) a "similar" or "comparable" Spinco-TI agreement. qualcomm.com
