  People will need to publish commits in book form again, like the Phil Zimmerman did with PGP, to have freedom of expression. See: https://philzimmermann.com/EN/essays/BookPreface.html https://philzimmermann.com/EN/essays/BookPreface.html I'm picturing RISC-V processors being sold in boxes that are actually small bible-like books with ornate binding, full of paper printed source code, with small hollows inside where the chips fit.

  > you'll need a special government license to resolve issues opened by anyone related to China? Yes but that's very similar to how the EUV "ban" works too. As long as you can get a license it's fine but getting the license is expected to be very hard and probably represents a big enough of a risk that you can't base your business around that. So effectively it is a ban. The license thing does give the executive branch a good deal of leverage when negotiating with China. I think this is likely what the US is really after anyways. It's a pretty hard nosed renegotiation of the existing relationship by both sides.
