BRUSSELS (Reuters) - U.S. chipmaker Broadcom is being asked by EU antitrust regulators about changes to newly acquired cloud computing company VMware's licensing conditions following complaints from a spate of EU business users and a trade group.

The EU competition enforcer said it had sent requests for information to Broadcom to investigate the issue.
