The problem with licensing IP to somebody who is willing to steal it, is that revoking the license is never going to un-share those trade secrets.

Is anyone able to explain what is actually entailed by being put on this "Entity List", and/or what the ramifications will be for AMD's joint venture in particular? Maybe I'm just tired, but after a bit of googling I can't seem to understand what this actually means.

It seems to relate (at least in part) to limitations of license transfers to entities on the List, but given that AMD has already stated that their JV license agreement was limited to Zen 1 to begin with, does that mean there isn't really impact to the deal that is in place?
