Can they? I thought it was an open ISA without a pushover license like MIT.

i was thinking of it more in the way of how ARM came to be. they took RISC, built upon and extended it, with the end result being proprietary processors which weren't RISC anymore.

i strongly doubt that anything qualcomm will create would contribute to the risc-v ecosystem at a whole. on the other hand, maybe it's an important step for it's mass adoption. time will tell
