Absolutely.

It’s not the only antidote to copyright, though. Dismantling the current legal system that is designed to protect profits above human need could solve the problem more permanently.

It would be a separate effort from ARM itself, merely complimentary. It wouldn't have to be too expensive either, if it avoided private profit-seeking suppliers and instead attempted to vertically integrate by nationalising related industries.

You're correct that neither main party would do this, partly because of the inadequacies of the liberal election cycle. Only direct worker democracy could reliably centrally plan for use rather than profit.

You may be right about the reason. Or maybe it’s something to do with positioning between US and EU.

The correct move would be to nationalise ARM and build a fab, but the Tories are very unlikely to do that.

There are actually several, of common lineage: OCaml, F#, Haskell.
