Arduino is an open-source platform — both its hardware and software are open to everyone, right?

The first Arduino I built cost me just $5. I assembled all the parts on a breadboard, and it worked perfectly with the Arduino IDE, just like the ESP32 does nowadays.

Is Qualcomm basically paying for the brand? I didn’t even realize Arduino was a brand at first.
