STMicroelectronics Shortage
Kjelt:
That is true if they have a legitimate arm license than they can join the arm infrastructure out there but why 1:1 immitate an st processor peripheral and pinout. Make your own better peripherals and own pinout, it is just too easy and I am also very annoyed by the hacking and espionage from China and other countries to steal IP from western tech companies which again was proven last week in our country.
China has the money, china has the brains and knowledge, go start leading and create instead of dteal and copy, that is the message. Ugly or not, just the truth.

Emulating STM gives competition for ST, and a second source if things go wrong. As engineers, we should applaud competition. The GD processors aren't reverse engineered copies, they are ground-up reimplementations of STM32 architectures, some with better performance than others... it is just like Wine compatibility layer for Windows, or Dalvik/ART on Android for Java.
The Supreme Court will debate whether the Java API is patentable/copyrightable. I hope that Oracle fail in their lawsuit. It would be a dangerous precedent to set. APIs should not be copyrightable in and of themselves.

Why would different manufacturers do 78xx regulators with the same pinout when they could invent their own pinouts, I wonder??

Good to hear, looking forward to fresh products.
