Changes to existing projects (e.g. Berkeley's Rocket RISC-V design) is released under the upstream project's license. We're interested in using an Apache-derived license for new hardware codebases due to the additional patent clauses.
We have received backing from a private individual which has got us going, and some additional donations from some of our project partners.
- jacques_chester 11y agoCompanies paying into Foundations which own the IP under an Apache license is becoming a relatively well-tested pattern these days. The Linux Foundation provides "Foundation as a Service" to several of these. I work for Pivotal, so I'm most familiar with the Cloud Foundry Foundation, which is administered by the Linux Foundation on behalf of members. From what I can see, it's a smooth way to offload the administrative stuff to specialists while retaining the core openness.
