If you are a silicon designer or a fab, RISCV costs nothing to license. People think this might cause more production-grade open hardware being introduced to the scene, but I don't think so. Anything that is worth selling to the actual customers will be closed source and may include security processors. As a user no difference than any other architecture. You are completely bound by the quality/performance of the tooling, the compilers and the actual hardware
