I don't know -- the obvious answer is no (more code in full view is better than less), but when I think about it, you have to weigh the benefits against possible damage to RISC-V or more F/OSS aligned competitors. I have no way of knowing of course, but if MIPS simply went open source but don't actually think the same way RISC-V does, then they might lure enthusiasts that would have worked on RISC-V. That's the point I hoped to make -- if the result is fragmentation and slowed progress on RISC-V because of a muddying of the waters as to who thinks what about F/OSS then that is a bad outcome in my eyes.
