Okay, so if we assume that implementing register windows is hard, why tackle the problem again, instead of reusing what is already there? The entire work appears to me to be the authors' personal bias against SPARC, possibly wanting to implement an entire processor from scratch, at all costs, no matter what. The patent argument seems very illogical for a code base under the GPL. Something just doesn't seem right.

This is a common thing to do in a computer engineering program, and I believe it was an explicit design goal that student projects could be real RISC-V implementations instead of targeting the toy ISAs commonly used for this purpose.
