risc-v is licensed under cc, so there’s going to be a lot of progress in chip designing and manufacturing by more entities participating, which means more likely there will be someone making libre hardware, as opposed to an x86 duopoly
even if beagle-v in particular is going to end up really locked up for whatever reason (i personally don’t think so), it will pave the way for libre hardware potential in the future, at least in my opinion
probably, but still, i’m just happy that we are finally going to be getting non-arm/x86 general purpose hardware :)
