Just like the use and spread of 'open-source' Linux is not dependent on any particular company, the use and spread of 'open-source' RISC-V is not dependent on any particular company. Many Linux companies have come and gone. Linux continues to thrive. Likewise many RISC-V companies will come and go. The architecture will live on. I venture to predict that the many proprietary Western-originated CPU architectures will fade away in the decades to come. RISC-V (and/or its successors) will become the world-wide norm, not based in any particular part of the World.
