No, no, no. Intel doesn't have a license with Qualcomm. In recent decisions made by regulators in the EU, South Korea, Taiwan, etc, Qualcomm was accused and fined precisely for their unwillingness to license their IPs to competing baseband makers (ie, Intel). The USFTC is looking to punish Qualcomm for the same offenses and enable Qualcomm's competitors to take license from Qualcomm (see http://www.fosspatents.com/2018/09/federal-trade-commission-...). Wrt Intel modems, the exhaustion doctrine likewise doesn't apply.
