RISC-V bleeding edge?

• sitkack 6y ago
  In avoiding the morass of stupid patent rulings that allow manufacturers to camp on an ISA. There is no reason that anyone shouldn't be able to take someone's databook for a processor and produce a legal work alike. But since we can't do that. The whole industry is forced to create a new ISA for the sole purpose of saying it is ok to produce work-a-likes. Cutting edge, but in legal maneuvers.

  Also: not an architecture, an instruction set.
