The RTL can be open without the ISA being open. > "The "Scalable" in SPARC comes from the fact that the SPARC specification allows implementations to scale from embedded processors up through large server processors, all sharing the same core (non-privileged) instruction set" - Wikipedia Yes. SPARC is a RISC and therefore it can scale well in implementation. RISC-V however has taken the modular approach to ISA design far further then anything else has so far. Again, maybe you should actually read about the design of RISC-V and why the didn't want to adopt SPARC. You accuse me of spreading misinformation, but you don't seem to know what the difference between SPARC and RISC-V are.
