No. > Can you reveal to us what exactly your license prohibits, for example > by pasting that part of the license here? http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/ARM_Cortex-M3_v7.html Specifically clause 2(i): "No right is granted to [...] use the ARM Architecture Reference Manual for the purposes of developing or having developed microprocessor cores or models thereof which are compatible in whole or part with either or both the instructions or programmer's models described in this ARM Architecture Reference Manual" You may argue whether qemu constitutes a "microprocessor model". However the ARM licencing/legal department have stated that in their opinion it does, and is covered by this clause. Also note clause 2(iii) that prohibits redistribution of the document.
